South Caucasus at the Crossroads: Between Fragmentation and Cooperation

On September 10, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan participated in the “South Caucasus at the Crossroads: Between Fragmentation and Cooperation” panel discussion in the frames of “Yerevan Dialogue” international forum with the participation of high-ranking officials from different countries. 

Ararat Mirzoyan emphasized that the region of South Caucasus as a crossroad of civilisations is an important part of geopolitical processes, a major trade pathway, and a cultural highway. Today, it can also serve as a connecting hub for interactions within the wider region, between Asia and Europe. Yet, the region’s potential as a hub for cooperation is not without obstacles. 

In this context, Ararat Mirzoyan stressed the fact that the “Crossroads of Peace” initiative developed by the Government of Armenia, with its goals and promising opportunities, can be an important component of the trade-economic cooperation and transport connectivity agenda.
