European Union Foreign Affairs Journal – N° 2/3-2011 www.eufaj.eu, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Editorial Dear readers, In this issue, we have, besides many other contributions, a closer look to the South Caucasus; we did this already before, but feel it is important to describe more topical aspects and views. Not all of these aspects may please everybody, but we have already shown for this part of the world, that we are proud to be an independent paper for free discussion. We also feel that European values should be communicated to Russian scientists, universities, and citizens, while also Europeans and e. g. Americans should get a better comprehension of the way of thinking when reading what and how their Russian colleagues cope with current issues. Finally, we have this time an article about Tibet. This may not be liked by many Chinese, but we are committed to the old Roman law principle “audiatur et altera pars” - “let us hear the other side, too”, therefore to the freedom of the press, to the interest for minorities – and of course we are open also to Chinese authors who may tell us their views.
