The unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a big problem for cooperation between the countries in the South Caucasus and regional security issues, said Georgia’s envoy to U.S.  Temuri Yakobashvili.

“What is happening in Armenia is because of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem it has fallen into Russia’s hands, it houses Russia’s military base and has unsettled relations with Azerbaijan”, APA quotes Yakobashvili as saying.

Speaking at the meeting with students and experts of Potomac Institute’s Center for Terrorism Studies, he said Armenia-Turkey relations remain unsettled due to Karabakh conflict.

“So the best thing is to find a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem. Because when you have this kind of irritancy, security dynamite, when you have problems like that you are dragged back from other issues. Armenia has no luxury to focus on itself developments, because it has many other aspects. There are domestic problems in Armenia as well,” he said.
