The purpose of this International Conference is to discuss Peace and Security issues in the Middle East and Caucasus. After the Cold War period, these two regions have seen the eruption of severe ethnic, religious and political crises. Our aim is to create a forum for researchers, scholars and statesmen to exchange their findings, review knowledge and understanding each other. This conference intends to focus on how the regional forces can be motivated to work together for the restoration of peace and security. An assessment of the general political, economical, and military environment of the Middle East and the Caucasus will be a central part of this discussion. Additional aspects for consideration will include: How International Organizations react to these issues and what they have to offer regarding the military aspects of the security and peace-keeping operations, terrorism and energy problems.

The conference aims to be a discussion platform on possible solutions to the problems of security and peace in these regions.
