Enchaned Caucasus

Caucasus is a very sensitive historically binded multycultural and multiethnic geopolitical and geoeconomic region which has an integral and self-sufficient natural ressurces for developing economy and common geocultural system.

The vectors crossing Caucasus from the North to the South and from the East to the West (and vice versa) could play a really new geostrategic role only on the ground of the new nonconfrontational geopolitical concept, bazed on culturocentric traditions and matrix of the intracaucasian relations.

According to Russia’s geopolitical and economic reality, and as it is proved by post totalitarism strategy, the aim is not to allow natural unification of the Caucasian states and obstruct the process which will let this region transform into an interesting, rich and self sufficient one, with its oil, gold and silver, precious metals, manganese, coal and other natural resources, hydra and polienergy resources, versatile, natural resorts, tourist sites, agricultural industry etc. This list is not exhaustive but high level of intellectual resources is a real asset of the Caucasus.

In the posttotalitarian situation intracaucasian "ethnoconflicts" seemed to be masks of the new geopolitical reality, causinig problems which could not be resolved by old conceptual shemas and economocentric tecniks and ideology. The only possybility to resolve this problems is to came on the ground of culturocentric approach and to develop integral caucasian regional system.

All projects sach as TRASECA or Caspian oil and others have to be analised and developed from the point of view of the caucasian regional integrity and common interests.

The development of the caucasus and each part of it is a metter of the caucasian people and states.
