We feel uneasy about the situation in the South Caucasus zones of conflict that remains tense, threatening world peace and security. The South Caucasus Peace Initiative should promote a constructive dialogue among all sides of the opposition involved in the conflicts between Georgia and Abkhazia, Georgia and Ossetia, and in Nagorno-Karabakh.
