1. Introduction:
--------------
The Caucasus situated on the frontiers of Europe and Asia is a crossroad
and gateway between Cultures and Civilizations, (between Europe and Asia,
Islam and Christianity, Turks, Iranians and Slavs.) In the famous Caucasus
Mountains, where Prometheus was punished and chained to the rocks because
he had stolen the fire from the gods to hand to mankind, seems to be the
most fertile ground for ethnic violence.
The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan about Nagorno Karabagh, The
Abkhazian-Georgian conflict and the Chechen-Russian War. These wars costed
more than 100,000 lives and resulted in millions of refugees.
- What are the causes of conflicts in the Caucasus? Is this an area where
there will never be peace?
- What is the role of international organizations and the media in these
conflicts?
- Could methods of conflict resolution help make the region less tense?
- What is the role of millions of women, who suffer the most from wars that
are fought mainly by male heroes?
This book gives answer to these and other relevant questions.
The authors are all experts and specialists of the region or
representatives from the countries involved in conflicts.
It is a book that it should not be missed both by experts as laymen who are
interested in the region.
