A Path To Peace In The Caucasus
By Mikhail Gorbachev
www.countercurrents.org/gorbachev130808.htm
The international community’s long-term aim could be to create a sub-regional system of security and cooperation that would make any provocation, and the very possibility of crises such as this one, impossible. Building this type of system would be challenging and could only be accomplished with the cooperation of the region’s countries themselves.

A lesson from recent events is that geopolitical games are dangerous anywhere, not just in the Caucasus

Understanding the truth about Mao is important for everyone—the revolution he led was a major milestone in human history and everyone should know the truth about such a revolution and such a figure.
