PM Tayyip Erdoğan made public his proposal for the establishment of a Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform on Aug. 13 in Moscow and on Aug. 14 in Tbilisi.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Aug. 11 said that Ankara may launch an initiative for the formation of a "Caucasus Alliance," following the Balkan model, adding that the Russian Federation should be part of it.

The various titles given by Erdoğan and Gül to this proposal concerning the Caucasus -- the Caucasus Alliance, the Caucasus Stability Forum and the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform -- imply that Turkey's policy on this issue is still ripe. What is the Caucasus Stability Pact? What is Turkey trying to do now by giving a green light to the Caucasus Stability Pact (CSP) which it disapproved of in 2000? Moreover, the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe (SPSEE), which is advertised as a model for the Caucasus Stability Pact, was terminated in 2008 on the grounds that it was a clumsy and dysfunctional organization.
