Product Description
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia has remained on the brink of becoming an economic crossroads or an isolated backwater, a democratic or authoritarian state, a peaceful and prosperous country or a nation on the brink of conflict. Armenia's difficult independence is intricately linked with her Transcaucasian neighbors, and whichever path she follows they will undoubtedly be affected. Armenia: At the Crossroads considers Armenia as a nation and as a state, and puts her tragic history into the context of current events since independence. ... Read more

tremendous problems of a young nation
The book describes the many travails facing the young Armenian nation. The narrative begins with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The difficulties of a nation with few natural resources and bordered by historically hostile neighbours are delineated in great detail. The war with the Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh was not necessarily inevitable. But while hostilities have cooled to a frigid peace, trade is still minimal.

The inner workings of the Armenian government are explained, along with a synopsis of the society. There is massive crime and corruption, with the government itself estimating that 40-53% of the economy is dominated by organised crime. Leading to the supposition that the actual percentage is perhaps higher.

The book is not a cheery read. The authors offer an unvarnished look at Armenia. ... Read more

Product Description
For almost nine decades, since their mass-resettlement to the Levant in the wake of the Genocide and First World War, the Armenian communities of Lebanon and Syria appear to have successfully maintained a distinct identity as an ethno-culturally diverse group, in spite of representing a small non-Arab and Christian minority within a very different, mostly Arab and Muslim environment. The author shows that, while in Lebanon the state has facilitated the development of an extensive and effective system of Armenian ethno-cultural preservation, in Syria the emergence of centralizing, authoritarian regimes in the 1950s and 1960s has severely damaged the autonomy and cultural diversity of the Armenian community. Since 1970, the coming to power of the Asad family has conributed to a partial recovery of Armenian ethno-cultural diversity, as the community seems to have developed some for of tacit arrangement with the regime. In Lebanon, on the other hand, the Armenian community suffered the consequences of the recurrent breakdown of the consociational arrangement that regulates public life. In both cases the survival of Armenian cultural distinctiveness seems to be connected, rather incidentally, with the continuing "search for legitimacy" of the state. ... Read more

SOVIET AND POST SOVIET SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE IS FALSE
Any work on Caucasus is based on Soviet authors .They got scientific rewards for DISTORTION OF CAUCASIAN HISTORY.Local authors KNOW the truth, but write lies.Poor non caucasian authors are led astray by their lies anddecieve the readers.THE UNO, the OSCE are decieved and will be ashamed oftheir resolutions on Abkhaziansbecause they are the Georgians, but aretreated as nongeorgians.The aim of the liers was to weaken the Georgiansbeing the only indigenous nation in south Caucasus.The Armenians areimposed immigrants from non caucasian territories of Iran and Turkey,andthe Azerbaijan ethnos was invented in 1936 andconsist of Tartar, Turkish,Jevanhsir, Lezgin,Kurdish and other mostly nomadic tribes of vast Eurasianterritories.A non caucasian cannot write a proper book about Caucasus.Atruthful bookes were published in Tbilisi in Georgian:PROF.
