Georgia President believes United Caucasus concept will help settle conflicts

Speaking after the meeting with his visiting Armenian counterpart, Serzh Sargsyan, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said on November 29, that the united Caucasus has no alternative.

“Our concept is of course based on the United Caucasus concept. I am sure that all the conflicts in the Caucasus are imposed by the empire force whose major principle is divide and rule,” Saakashvili said.

“It is in the interests of all the people and the states of the Caucasus to have united Caucasus, united economic space of the Caucasus and in the perspective creation of the united political commonwealth,” he said.

“It will definitely be implemented; it has no alternative for our people, for our small countries,” Saakashvili continued. “I am sure the conflicts, which were artificially imposed on our countries, will be resolved sooner or later – I think much sooner than anyone can imagine it. We will manage to find more common language and to integrate into the European space faster, if there is less interference from outside,” Civil Georgia quoted President Saakashvili as saying.
