Caucasus

There is growing recognition that something nasty befell the Armenian community in the Ottoman period and Turks are painfully revisiting this history.

If the Azerbaijanis were thinking about ways to increase the attractiveness of Azerbaijan as a strategic partner, they would... move in the opposite direction: releasing political prisoners, removing the restrictions on access to media and generally improving the human rights situation.

If you are a terrorist group in the Caucasus, the Sochi Olympics are going to be a very inviting target.
