After Karabakh: War, Peace, and the Forging of a New Caucasus

Svante E. Cornell Central Asia Caucasus Institute

It represents the moment of conception of a new South Caucasus, the only part of the world that borders on Russia, Turkey, and Iran. Unsurprisingly, external powers like the U.S., China, the EU, India, and the GCC states are all taking greater interest in its future.
