Caucasus platform called in question
The Caucasus stability and cooperation platform is a good idea but its implementation is called into question, a Turkish professor said.

"The problems between Georgia and Russia, as well as the Karabakh conflict hamper implementation of the project," said Mitat Celikpala, associate professor of international relations at Turkey's TOBB University.

"Besides, we should wait until U.S. President-elect Barack Obama take office and announces his stand on the initiative," he said, 1news.az reports.
