Over the past three decades, various initiatives for regional cooperation in the South Caucasus have been proposed, including the “Peaceful Caucasus Initiative” (Eduard Shevardnadze), “Stability Pact for the Caucasus” (Suleyman Demirel, on January 16, 2000), “Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform” (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, August 13, 2008), and “United Caucasus” (Mikheil Saakashvili). But none proved successful or long-lasting, because each failed to include all of the wider region’s key members.

This Monday, Iran announced the arrest of an Israeli spy , amongst others working for foreign intelligence agencies, in the country s East Azerbaijan Province, leading to speculation, on what Israel had planned against the Islamic Republic.
According to Iran s media, which quoted an Iranian intelligence minister, the unnamed Israeli spy arrested this Monday was operating in East Azerbaijan Province, amongst others in contact with several foreign intelligence agencies that were not named.
This comes following continuous threats from Israel that assert their willingness to combat Iran s pursuit of a nuclear weapon , a claim disputed by all the authoritative organisations on the subject.
