The Caucasus as meeting point of East and West, Europe and Asia, Christiandom and Islam. The cultures include Greek, Slavic, Arabic, Turkish and Persian, just to name a few. It has served as realm of legend, myth, of wonderment and exotica. Yet at the same time the Caucasus can serve as mirror to the outside, at a site where one can trace the processes that have shaped the broader world.
