There are prerequisites for improving the situation in the South Caucasus, but Western countries are hindering progress while pursuing their own interests, according to Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu.

Report informs via Russian media that speaking at the 12th meeting of CIS security council secretaries, Shoigu stated, "There are prerequisites for its improvement (the situation - ed.), but external players, acting with unseemly goals, to put it mildly, primarily Western countries, are hindering this."

Shoigu emphasized that this confirms the thesis that regional problems require regional solutions.
