Transcaucasia
Transcaucasia (Russian: Закавказье) or the South Caucasus is a geopolitical region located on the border of Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia. More specifically, Transcaucasia spans the southern portion of the Caucasus Mountains and its lowlands, straddling the border between the continents of Europe and Asia, and extending southwards from the southern part of the Greater Caucasus mountain range of southwestern Russia to the Turkish and Armenian borders, and from the Black Sea in the west to the Caspian Sea coast of Iran in the east. The area includes the southern part of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, the entire Lesser Caucasus mountain range, the Colchis Lowlands, the Kura-Aras Lowlands, the Talysh Mountains, the Lenkoran Lowlands, Javakheti and the eastern portion of the Armenian Highland. Together with Ciscaucasia (North Caucasus), Transcaucasia is a part of the larger Caucasus geographical region that divides Eurasia.
All of Armenia is in Transcaucasia; the majority of Georgia and Azerbaijan, including the exclave of Nakhchivan, fall within the region. Parts of Iran and Turkey are also included within the region of Transcaucasia. Goods produced in the region include oil, manganese ore, tea, citrus fruits, and wine. It remains one of the most politically tense regions in the post-Soviet area, and contains three heavily disputed areas: Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Nagorno-Karabakh. Between 1878 and 1917 the Russian occupied province of Kars Oblast was also incorporated into the Transcaucasus, although the region of Kars (including neighbouring Ardahan) is geographically and historically also considered to be part of Eastern Anatolia, in present-day Turkey, and is where the Anatolian high plateau converges with the Lesser Caucasus mountain range.

Caucasus
The Caucasus /ˈkɔːkəsəs/ or Caucasia /kɔːˈkeɪʒə/ is a region at the border of Europe and Asia, situated between the Black and the Caspian seas.
It is home to the Caucasus Mountains, which contain Europe's highest mountain, Mount Elbrus, 5,642 metres (18,510 ft). Politically, the Caucasus region is separated between northern and southern parts. The southern parts consist of independent sovereign states, and the northern parts are under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation.
The region is known for its linguistic diversity: aside from Indo-European and Turkic languages, the Kartvelian, Northwest Caucasian, and Northeast Caucasian families are indigenous to the area.
Name
Pliny the Elder's Natural History (AD 77–79) derives the name of the Caucasus from the Scythian kroy-khasis (“ice-shining, white with snow”).
Throughout Persian history, particularly Sassanid Persia, the Caucasus region was the furthest point of Persian expansion, with areas to the north of Northern Caucasus practically impregnable. Therefore, the mythical mountain of Cafcuh, the highest mountain in the world, was said to be situated in this region, making the Caucasus the limit of the world. Therefore, the Caucasus was the name given to this area for its association with the legendary mountain. The modern name of the region in local languages are all similar to the mountain name, with the main difference being that f has been replaced with a softer w and the last letter being replaced with z.

Caucasus Mountains
The Caucasus Mountains are a mountain system in Eurasia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea in the Caucasus region.
The Caucasus Mountains include the Greater Caucasus Range, which extends from the Caucasian Natural Reserve in the vicinity of Sochi on the northeastern shore of the Black Sea, aligned west-northwest to east-southeast and reaching nearly to Baku on the Caspian Sea; and the Lesser Caucasus, which runs parallel to the greater range, at a distance averaging about 100 km (62 mi) south. The Meskheti Range is a part of the Lesser Caucasus system. The Greater and Lesser Caucasus ranges are connected by the Likhi Range, which separates the Kolkhida Lowland from the Kura-Aras Lowland. In the southeast the Aras River separates the Lesser Caucasus from the Talysh Mountains which straddle the border of southeastern Azerbaijan and Iran. The Lesser Caucasus and the Armenian Highland constitute the Transcaucasian Highland, which at their western end converge with the highland plateau of Eastern Anatolia in the far north east of Turkey. The highest peak in the Caucasus range is Mount Elbrus in the Greater Caucasus, which rises to a height of 5,642 metres (18,510 ft) above sea level. Mountains near Sochi hosted part of the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Caucasus (Fabergé egg)
The Caucasus Egg is a jewelled enameled Easter egg made by Michael Perkhin under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé in 1893. The egg was made for Alexander III of Russia, who presented it to his wife, the Empress Maria Feodorovna.
Currently the egg is a long term installation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, New York, as part of the Matilda Geddings Gray Foundation.
The Egg
The egg is made of yellow and varicoloured gold, silver, ruby enamel, rose-cut diamonds, portrait diamonds, platinum, ivory, pearls, rock crystal and watercolour on ivory.
It commemorates the Imperial hunting lodge in Abastumani in Caucasus where Grand Duke George spent most of his life after being diagnosed with tuberculosis. Miniatures were done and signed by Krijitski. The miniatures are revealed by opening four pearl-bordered doors around the egg. Each door bears a diamond-set numeral of the year, forming the year 1893. Behind the hinged cover at the top is a portrait of the Grand Duke in his naval uniform.

Strategic Dialogue on the Future of the South Caucasus and Central Asia
http://www.weforum.org/ The South Caucasus and Central Asian region has recorded significant economic growth and development over the past decade. Individual countries have been at the forefront of this growth: Azerbaijan's economy has grown at double-digit rates over the past decade while Kazakhstan, along with other countries in the region, has made great strides in business capacity. With potential growth for most countries expected to reach 5-7% in 2013 (IMF), the region as a whole presents significant untapped potential given its natural resources and strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Russia’s war against Ukraine has changed the nature of the European security architecture. It has also raised questions about Moscow’s ability to maintain its influence and leverage over former Soviet republics, which it considers key for its great-power aspirations. For years, Russia was largely able to use its military, political, and economic leverage to secure its core interests vis-à-vis the three South Caucasus states, but Georgia’s Western-oriented foreign policy, the West’s growing inroads into the region, and the shift in Armenia and Azerbaijan’s balance of power in Nagorno-Karabakh gradually presented the Kremlin with challenges to its influence. Now, as the war in Ukraine has shifted Moscow’s focus away from the region, power dynamics there are again in flux.
How have Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia been impacted by Russia’s changing focus since February 2022? Has the war in Ukraine reshaped Moscow’s priorities and ability to project power in these countries? How have the three countries adjusted their relationships with Russia?
The participants will discuss Russia’s interests in the South Caucasus, the shifts in its leverage in the region since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and its consequent ability to realize its interests as the war goes on. They will also explore the implications of this new situation for actors in and outside the region.

Additionally, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, is playing a crucial role in facilitating talks between the two countries towards a comprehensive peace treaty.
This online Policy Dialogue focused on the EU’s geopolitical significance in the region and the security challenges on the ground, including those concerning relations with Russia.

The South Caucasus remains a geopolitical fault line surrounded by larger powers. While the Caucasus remains riven by conflicts, it is also a focal point for regional and trans-continental integration schemes. The region's three states -- Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia -- view these challenges in distinct ways. Accompanying the release of the CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program's new report series "The South Caucasus in a Reconnecting Eurasia," please join us to discuss the new geopolitics of the South Caucasus and the strategic outlook of the region's states.

Russia’s war against Ukraine has changed the nature of the European security architecture. It has also raised questions about Moscow’s ability to maintain its influence and leverage over former Soviet republics, which it considers key for its great-power aspirations. For years, Russia was largely able to use its military, political, and economic leverage to secure its core interests vis-à-vis the three South Caucasus states, but Georgia’s Western-oriented foreign policy, the West’s growing inroads into the region, and the shift in Armenia and Azerbaijan’s balance of power in Nagorno-Karabakh gradually presented the Kremlin with challenges to its influence. Now, as the war in Ukraine has shifted Moscow’s focus away from the region, power dynamics there are again in flux.
How have Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia been impacted by Russia’s changing focus since February 2022? Has the war in Ukraine reshaped Moscow’s priorities and ability to project power in these countries? How have the three countries adjusted their relationships with Russia?
The participants will discuss Russia’s interests in the South Caucasus, the shifts in its leverage in the region since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and its consequent ability to realize its interests as the war goes on. They will also explore the implications of this new situation for actors in and outside the region.

The South Caucasus and Central Asian region has recorded significant economic growth and development over the past decade. Individual countries have been at the forefront of this growth: Azerbaijan's economy has grown at double-digit rates over the past decade while Kazakhstan, along with other countries in the region, has made great strides in business capacity. With potential growth for most countries expected to reach 5-7% in 2013 (IMF), the region as a whole presents significant untapped potential given its natural resources and strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Once-integrated energy channels were disrupted with the fragmentation of the Soviet Union and the unfreezing of frozen ethnic conflicts in the South Caucasus. In the mid-1990s, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia began rebuilding their impaired energy infrastructures. How have these countries with different degrees of European and Russian influence and different energy needs and natural oil and gas reserves fared so far and what do they have in common?

Anti-government protests in Tbilisi, Georgia, have reached a new level, as Georgians are opposing the pro-Russian government's plans to introduce an oppressive "foreign agents" law. In neighbouring Armenia, Prime Minister Pashinyan is trying to reduce his country's dependence on Russia, while pushing his country to a more pro-European course. At the same time, Russia is withdrawing its troops from the Karabakh region, creating a power vacuum between the two rivals, Turkey-backed Azerbaijan and lonely Armenia. Is a new conflict in sight?
Sergej Sumlenny, host of the @EuroResilience video podcast, interviewed Alex Melikishvili, a country risk analyst focusing on the Southern Caucasus. Watch this interview to learn about:

Transcaucasia
Transcaucasia (Russian: Закавказье) or the South Caucasus is a geopolitical region located on the border of Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia. More specifically, Transcaucasia spans the southern portion of the Caucasus Mountains and its lowlands, straddling the border between the continents of Europe and Asia, and extending southwards from the southern part of the Greater Caucasus mountain range of southwestern Russia to the Turkish and Armenian borders, and from the Black Sea in the west to the Caspian Sea coast of Iran in the east. The area includes the southern part of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, the entire Lesser Caucasus mountain range, the Colchis Lowlands, the Kura-Aras Lowlands, the Talysh Mountains, the Lenkoran Lowlands, Javakheti and the eastern portion of the Armenian Highland. Together with Ciscaucasia (North Caucasus), Transcaucasia is a part of the larger Caucasus geographical region that divides Eurasia.
All of Armenia is in Transcaucasia; the majority of Georgia and Azerbaijan, including the exclave of Nakhchivan, fall within the region. Parts of Iran and Turkey are also included within the region of Transcaucasia. Goods produced in the region include oil, manganese ore, tea, citrus fruits, and wine. It remains one of the most politically tense regions in the post-Soviet area, and contains three heavily disputed areas: Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Nagorno-Karabakh. Between 1878 and 1917 the Russian occupied province of Kars Oblast was also incorporated into the Transcaucasus, although the region of Kars (including neighbouring Ardahan) is geographically and historically also considered to be part of Eastern Anatolia, in present-day Turkey, and is where the Anatolian high plateau converges with the Lesser Caucasus mountain range.
