Probably in 2014 Talibs again will come to power in Afghanistan. And they can destabilize situation also in Iran. In this connection a question occurs: how will be the character of relations between Iran and Talibs?

In the framework of strategic command-staff trainings “Reaction-2013” which are being held according to the RA AF development plan, RA president, NSC Chairman Serje Sargsyan convened NSC meeting. During it conditional military- political situation around Armenia and high-ranking officials’ actions during taking such decisions were discussed. NSC members presented their suggestions to the President on how to neutralize threats and prepare the state for defense.

I couldn’t even think that I would be received on such a high level. And this prompts me 2 things: first, that till the end of my days I owe my nation, and second, that people of our region, including Talish people, should live in peace and have good relations with their neighbours. Only radio station “Voice of Talishstan” maintains our spirit, teaches our language, helps us not to loose our identity. In this regard let me express my gratitude to Professor G.Asatryan and his “companions”.

On October 10, within the framework of the Kyrgyz Republic’s chairmanship in the CSTO, an academic-practical conference “AFGHANISTAN 2014: PROSPECTS OF THE SITUATION IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF AFGHANISTAN, CHALLENGES AND THREATS TO SECURITY IN CENTRAL ASIA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WITHDRAWAL OF MAIN CONTINGENTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE FORCE” took place in Bishkek. Experts from 27 countries, as well as from the CSTO, NATO, the UN, the OSCE, the EU, the SCO, the ICRC and other international organizations attended the conference.

New wars in the world happen because of energy-carriers (petrol, gas). Now global conflict happens for “human souls”.
On September 30 during Yerevan-Moscow TV-bridge Gagick Harutyunyan, executive director of “Noravanq” scientific-educational fund mentioned that it is not about war between Christian and Muslim world but multi-civilized world and global extremism. The latter has no religion, no nationality, it is a single organism which feeds not only from Arab world but from the West as well. “And against it should struggle all, including such organizations as CSTO”, – said G.Harutyunyan.

Iran has a balanced position towards Syria. Syria for Iran – it is a country with a crucial meaning. Before these events Syria-Iran relations were developing almost in all directions: political, economic, religious-cultural etc. Loosing Syria for Iran will mean loosing a strong “support” in the Middle East, and this “support” gives possibility to be freer while mentioning its position towards Israel. Loosing Syria for Iran – it is a strike on the geopolitical interests of the country both in Iraq and Lebanon.

Turkey has already significantly suffered from its hostile attitude towards Syria. On the initiative of Prime Minister Rejep Tayib Erdoghan and “Justice and prosperity” party trade-economic relations started to develop with the region’s countries. Turkey invested in Gulf countries – Quwait, Katar, UAE, Saudi Arabia. Goods freight was implemented via Syria-Lebanon-Israel-Egypt-Persian Gulf. Turkey-Syria relations became hostile, and now Syria doesn’t allow the goods to be transported сухопутно by land on trucks. There are no good relations with Iraq as well, with Iran it can’t implement transportation, that’s why the goods are transferred to Egypt on ferry and from there – to other countries.
