The conflicts in the South Caucasus are topic of discussion in the North Caucasus too.

As APA reports, most of local military and political experts say it's high time to eliminate all these conflicts.

Some experts think the conflicts should be solved by peaceful way, without Russia's mediation. Council member of the Public Organization Adijei People's Assembly, military expert, Colonel Amin Zekhov made a statement.

"Georgia is an independent state. So, Russia cannot bombard it. Peace cannot be achieved by tanks. Russian citizens should live in Russia. Russian peacekeeping forces should be withdrawn from these territories. Abkhazia and South Osetia would better accept Georgia instead of joining Russia, which will lead to destruction of their histories and cultures. The peoples of these republics should take a lesson from us," Zekhov said.

The military expert thinks that Azerbaijan is the closest strategic ally of Georgia in the South Caucasus. Touching on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Zekhov said this problem should be solved by peaceful way too.

Referring to Armenian role in the South Caucasus, Zekhov said: "Everyone knows that Armenia is the Belarus of the South Caucasus."
