STEPANAKERT. - Certain circles are promoting the idea of South Caucasus Confederation, believing that this is the key for all problems in the region. This means nothing but to swap a cart with a horse, the spokesman for Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) President David Babayan told Armenian News - NEWS.am.

According to him, creating a confederation requires two preconditions.

"The first is when a certain power forcibly unites certain territories, as it was in Soviet Union, for instance. The second occurs when there is a serious danger, threatening several states to an extent of dropping their differences and uniting. In Southern Caucasus I observe none of these,” said Babayan.

According to him, the idea of Confederation is theoretically applicable to the region, not as a cure for sores but rather as a consequence of overcoming all the problems.
