"Presently we can observe the progressive retreat of Russia and the increase of the U.S. presence in the Caucasus. The U.S. aims at joining to the Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline, which will become one of the instruments for cutting Russia off the geopolitical processes in the region," political scientist Andranik Migranyan stated at the international scientific conference titled "Caucasus without conflicts and terror: dialogue of civilizations on the Caucasian crossroad" held in Yerevan today. In his words, the U.S.'s regional plans base on the states which are incapable to settle the domestic problems by own strength.

It's quite obvious that Georgia will not be able to return Abkhazia and South Ossetia and hopes for the support of the U.S. that takes the advantage of the situation. However all attempts of Russia and the U.S. to knock each other form the South Caucasus are doomed to failure," the political scientist remarked. At that he underscored that Georgia even with the support of the United States will not be able to solve its internal problems.
