Abstract
We now move on to conflicts in the former Soviet Union. Pride of place must go as usual to the South Caucasus (Transcaucasia). We deal first with Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, then with Georgia’s many problems.
Upon the breaking and shivering of a great state and empire, you may be sure to have wars. (Sir Francis Bacon)1
Without the Karabagh movement the flag of independence would not have been hoisted over the land of Armenia. (Balaian, 1995: 413)
