  Abkhazia, Karabakh and South Ossetia are Russia's alliesJuly 12, 2008 - 16:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - South Caucasus is one of the hottest zones in the post soviet territory, says a report issued by Russian Strategic Culture Foundation."Russia's passive role in the Caucasus has predetermined strengthening of West's positions, especially in 1990-ies. As result, Georgia has become a U.S. outpost; Azerbaijan is facing the same fate. Attempts to gain Armenia are still undertaken. Against the background, unrecognized republics - Abkhazia, Nagorno Karabakh and South Ossetia appear as Russia's allies. Under U.S.-subordinate Saakashvili's rule, Georgia continues to aggravate the situation," the report says. "If Georgia and Ukraine are invited to NATO the situation will worsen even more. Russia's geopolitical potential will weaken considerably," it says.
