Crimes in the Caucasus, by Thomas De Waal - openDemocracy

openDemocracy, May 21, 2010 -- Documenting a great historical tragedy unknown to most, Oliver Bullough's new book is a fascinating and groundbreaking work. Thomas de Waal reviews "Let Our Fame Be Great".

A century and a half ago the Circassians were a people no less familiar to educated Europeans than Armenians. Rather like the Marsh Arabs or the Kuwaitis, they were caught up in a geopolitical fight much bigger than themselves, in this case the mid-19th century imperial struggle between Britain and Russia for control of the Black Sea and trade-routes to India. The romantic Russophobe Islamophile Tory MP (it is not often that these words are put together) David Urquhart supported the Circassian warriors in their struggle against the advancing Tsarist Empire. He invited a delegation of Circassian chieftains to visit England and Scotland and even used a Circassian flag as his banner in his electoral campaign for the parliamentary ...

The risks of losing a special role in the Caucasus by Thomas de Waal

European Voice, 17 June 2010

Leaders in the South Caucasus need to think regionally – and, to encourage that, the EU should keep a special representantive there.

A ripple of alarm has gone through the community of those dealing with the south Caucasus at reports that the EU's new External Action Service is considering getting rid of the office of EU special representative (EUSR) for the south Caucasus.

Why is the post currently occupied by the Swedish diplomat Peter Semneby still needed in the EU's new, post-Lisbon treaty era? First of all because, in the old-fashioned vertical hierarchies of these countries, personalities matter. The two or three leaders who take the key decisions in each place like regular interlocutors with whom they can do business. In the form of an EUSR, the leaders of the ...

Window on Eurasia: Russian Orthodox, Muslims Deeply Split on Plans for ‘Code for Muscovites’

Paul Goble

Vienna, June 18 – Russian legislators reacted negatively to the Moscow city Duma’s proposal to compile a Code for Muscovites to inform newcomers to the city what kind of behavior is appropriate and what is not, but the very idea of such a code deeply split Russian Orthodox clergy who supported it and Muslim leaders who opposed it.
The Regions.ru news agency as it often does surveyed the reaction of Russian parliamentarians and religious leaders to the Moscow city legislature’s plan to compose a Code for Muscovites, surveys that showed a clear divide between the legislators and the religious leaders and between the Russian Orthodox and Russian Muslims.
The parliamentarians, the news agency summed up, "considered the proposal of the capital’s lawmakers to develop a Code of the Muscovite as illegal and discriminatory” and urged the city’s officials to enforce existing laws equally without "going beyond the framework of Russian ...

Sochi Is Part of Circassia

It is petty to view ideas and comments that would drift those who are interested of knowledge and useful information to more contradiction and one side-minded mode that would necessarily lead to "one-way communication” and increases disagreement that compiles information to concentrate on certain ideas that are intended to be given as facts without a second thought of the human obligation of presenting the content in more logical and consistent methods, that would remind of so much betrayals suffered by the Circassian nation that would lead us to: "If you have been betrayed from behind the scene, then you should be proud because you are the only one who is in front”…

Human inhabitants lived in the coastal Black Sea area since human history was known, that included many entities which most of them have gone extinct or no longer exist at the present time, but Circassians in spite of all disasters that were affecting their very existence, they are still there, even ...

Askar Akayev warns Saakashvili: Georgian President may be the next

Publication time: 17 June 2010, 12:21

Former Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev believes that the Kyrgyz scenario could be repeated in other countries with the past "color revolutions", and particularly in Georgia. Akayev said this during a video bridge between Moscow and St. Petersburg.

It is to be mentioned that Akayev headed Kyrgyzstan since 1990, and resigned as head of state after the "Tulip Revolution" of 2005. At the head of state he was replaced by Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who in turn was overthrown in April 2010.

According to Akayev, the number of victims in Osh has already reached several thousands. Speaking about how much time it needed for Kyrgyzstan to recovery after major disturbances, Akayev said that he makes "no optimistic forecasts".

"Such violence, such fires - they are not quickly liquidated, they are not quickly treated, therefore I have not optimistic for the near future. I believe that the Kyrgyz people should be prepared for a difficult and protracted struggle ...
