20 years ago Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan achieved independence from the Soviet Union. On this occasion, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) has asked authors from Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, Turkey, EU and the USA to take a look back on two eventful decades and explore the challenges for the coming years. The outcome is a book in which the multilayered problems of the South Caucasus are thoroughly analysed. The publication was presented on November 24th 2011 in Berlin and can be downloaded here in English and Russian.
