Very few people in the South Caucasus do not understand the importance of commonly adopted values, which are violated by the ruling elites of the region, particularly in Azerbaijan and Armenia. According to all international ratings and indices, these countries rank first among the countries the heads of which violate human rights and civil freedoms.
On October 7, 2010 in Potsdam, the heads of three opposition parties of South Caucasus signed a Declaration uniting the intentions of the sides to establish democracy in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia; but most prefer not to notice it.
But the event which has taken place can be considered a sensation having far going consequences for the South Caucasian region and its people which are tired of falsification and violence. The head of Musavat party Isa Gambar, head of Georgia"s Republican Party David Usupashvili, head of the Board of Armenian Common National Movement Aram Manukian signed a document after consultations lasting for an hour, and patiently made amendments to the basic text of declaration.
All Caucasian participants of the seminar "The road to peace in the South Caucasus: Property-Freedom-Welfare" participated in the development t of the document. Discussions , compromises and finding definitions uniting in a document specific interests of sides, showed maturity and readiness of long-livers to the long-term joint activity.
By representing the liberal ideology the sides made an accent on such basic principles, as the right for life, personal freedom and quality before the law, inviolability of property and free market economy, and transparency of state governing.

Declaration which has given start to new phase of historical development of the region, has been demanded by societies of the three countries, and will be supported more, than initiatives of those who call to war and restriction of freedoms.
It can be seem strange that political leaders have signed the declaration in the pace which is called "Trumen"s villa", where in 1945 American president stated to participate in the Potsdam peaceful conference. South-Caucasian Declaration is not a Potsdam post-war treatment; it is something close to its ideas.
Potsdam declaration is only first step to the peaceful and democratic future of South Caucasus. It will be soon followed by new steps. All hurry because they understand that the have come to the 21st century with stones in their bosom, and they should get rig of them.

In Ukraine, a brutal, bloody war caused by Russian aggression continues, claiming lives, destroying homes, demolishing infrastructure, and inflicting incalculable harm on the environment and surrounding natural ecosystems. Ukraine, more than anyone else in this world, strives for peace, as we bear the daily brutality of this Russian-Ukrainian war. We are at the forefront of the struggle for the right to life, freedom, and justice. Ukraine seeks a just peace that will lay a solid foundation for a stable future for Europe and the World, and the only way of achieving this is to implement President Volodymyr Zelensky's Peace Formula (the Ukrainian Peace Formula).

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life. His money and influence forged the broad-based consolidation of opposition forces that brought him to power in 2012, and now, 12 years and three electoral cycles later, a similar pattern of opposition convergence could send him packing.
