On December 9, 2014, Center for Eurasian Studies (AVİM) and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung held a meeting in Hilton Hotel Ankara titled “Regional Cooperation Possibilities and Prospects for the Future in the Caucasus”.

Giorgi Badridze (Senior Fellow, Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies (GFSIS) and lecturer at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University). The session was concluded with a Q&A session.
The third panel was a panel for a general evaluation.
The message that emanated from the conclusion was as follows:
- There is a potential for conflict in the region.
- Status quo is seen by some as the better of two evils.
- However, status quo is also seen as a zero-sum game.
- Cooperation obviously is a win-win situation and there is cooperation even if it is exclusionary.
- However, exclusion is not the desired option and cooperation is open to all.
- To achieve inclusive cooperation, the region needs to develop “more trust in itself.”
