Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babajan will meet and discuss creation of a new platform of security in the Caucasus with the Foreign Minister of Russia and then hold discussions with Armenia, said Prime Minister of Turkey Tayip Erdogan, according to Turkish Daily News.
He noted that the events in South Ossetia make creation of the platform of peace and cooperation in the Caucasus region important. "I will discuss this platform with the Azerbaijani leadership. Turkey is interested in peace and stability in the Caucasus", noted he.

Erdogan also announced that the format of talks with Armenia on the issue will be defined following Babajan's meeting with Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov.

It should be reminded that Erdogan managed to discuss the security system in the Caucasus, proposed by Turkey, in Tbilisi and Moscow. Both sides positively assessed the Turkish initiative. On August 20 Erdogan directed to Baku to meet Ilham Aliyev and discuss the initiative with him.
