  • How to Square the Caucasian Circle

    • 05.08.2010
    Two years since fighting broke out between Georgia and Russia, the situation in the separatist territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia remains deadlocked and the current western policy of strong rhetorical support for the Georgian position substitutes easy words for hard diplomatic work.
  • Remaking the Nagorno-Karabakh Peace Process

    • 01.08.2010
    The international community cannot afford to let the unresolved dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh remain a low priority; a renewal of violence would impact not only Armenia and Azerbaijan, but also Georgia, Russia, Turkey, and Iran.
  • A Forever Smoldering Conflict in the Caucasus

    • 05.07.2010
    The bloodshed on the ceasefire line should focus minds and be a reminder that a new conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh would be catastrophic for everyone, not just Armenians and Azeris.
  • Caucasian Standoff

    • 01.07.2010
    While Nagorno-Karabakh engages in the process of building a de facto state, hardening attitudes in Karabakh and Azerbaijan could lead to a war which would affect the entire South Caucasus, including Georgia, Iran, Russia, and Turkey.
  • The Risks of Losing a Special Role in the Caucasus

    • 17.06.2010
    The position of EU special representative for the south Caucasus plays an important role in the potential transformation and development of the volatile region.
  • A Pause in Armenia–Turkey Reconciliation

    • 10.05.2010
    Armenia suspended the process of normalization with Turkey in April, dealing a blow to an agreement designed to open the closed Armenia–Turkey border after almost a century of hostility between the nations.
  • Nagorno-Karabakh and the Minsk Group Negotiations

    • 06.05.2010
    Negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are deadlocked, with serious consequences not only for the nations involved in the conflict, but also for the Armenia-Turkey reconciliation process.
  • Missiles Over Tskhinvali

    • 20.04.2010
    Tensions between Georgia and Russia continue to simmer, in the aftermath of the five-day war of August 2008. Without disinterested help from the West, Georgian president Saakashvili’s rhetorical invocation of a Russian threat could all too easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
  • Stuck in 1915

    • 16.04.2010
    Six months after the signing of protocols intended to normalize relations between Armenia and Turkey and open the closed border between the two countries, the protocols are in danger of collapse.
