  • 2020 Autumn Holiday Georgia & Azerbaijan
    2020 Autumn Holiday Georgia & Azerbaijan Join us for another adventure to two very different countries. Both were influenced by and benefited from Silk Road trade and both were part of the Soviet Union for almost a century. Since their independence in 1991 they have developed very differently and we will explore these differences through their history, art, architecture and food, and discover the influences of Eastern Orthodoxy and Islam. We will have guides in both countries. This holiday will be more challenging than usual, so in the interests of safety and the enjoyment of all participants, it will be necessary to have the strength and agility to cope with the physical conditions, as well as being able to cope with different circumstances and be able to travel light and lift and carry your own luggage without assistance, particularly when crossing the 600m (656 yards) border between Georgia and Azerbaijan. The Itinerary The itinerary, dates and prices cannot be finalised until hotels are confirmed and the airline schedules published but it is likely we will depart 30th September, returning on 11th October 2020. Costs are likely to be about £2 450 per person double occupancy and about £3 060 per person single. In the event the holiday is over-subscribed, or the committee considers members not able to meet the challenges, the committee reserves the right to allocate places by way of a ballot and / or if necessary to ask applicants, who in their view will find the conditions beyond their capacity to cope safely and reliably and without complaint, to reconsider.

  • The Caucasus: a History James Forsyth Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87295-9 - The Caucasus: A History James Forsyth Frontmatter More information The Caucasus This is a fascinating new survey of the Caucasus which provides a unified narrative history of this complex and turbulent region at the borderlands of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, from prehistory to the present. For thousands of years the Caucasus has formed a hub of intersecting routes of migration, invasion, trade and culture, and a geographical bridge between Europe and Asia, subject to recurring imperial invasion. Drawing on sources in English and Russian, and translations from Persian and Arabic, this authoritative study centres on the region’s indigenous peoples, including Abkhazians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, Daghestanis, Circassians and Georgians, and their relations with outsiders who still play a part in the life of the region today. The book presents a critical view of the role of Russian imperial- ism in the Caucasian countries, and the desperate struggle of most of its native peoples in their efforts to establish a precarious independence. james forsyth is former Reader and Head of the Department of Russian at the University of Aberdeen.
