		Furthermore, inability of the local authorities to act independently and a customary waiting for the instructions from the Centre associated them in the eyes of public with the pillars of Moscow in the provinces and left them in isolation.
		The two processes developed in parallel, and sometimes it was rather difficult to draw a dividing line between them and to define where the conflict ends and the liberation movement starts.
		Thus, the use of force against civilians and barbaric actions of the army in Transcaucasia profoundly shaped national consciousness of the Azeris, Georgians and Armenians and irrevocably pushed them along the final route toward independence.

	Riad: Caucasus
		In 1834 an imperial decree established the Armenian district comprising territories of the former Erevan and Nakhichevan khanates.
		In 1846 Transcaucasia was divided into four gubernia - Tiflis, Kutais, Shemakha, and Derbent - an arrangement that greatly increased the number of civil service vacancies, for which all sons of bays and aghas were considered qualified.
		After Vorontsov's retirement in 1865 Transcaucasia again saw a transition toward the policy of 'organic merger' with Russia and was divided in four gubernias, with the Azeri, or Caucasian Tatars population of 75% in Elizavetpol (Ganja), 58% in Baku, 42% in Erevan and 11% in Tiflis gubernias.

		But the lack of political will on the part of the Soviet leadership to reach a settlement in Transcaucasia, followed by the consequent loss of levers of control over the situation, provoked an escalation of the conflicts and led the opposing forces to stake their solution on military means.
		The Policies of International Organizations in Transcaucasia Russia's policies in Transcaucasia may be seen as a consequence of the ineffectiveness of the international organizations in responding to security challenges in the region.
		The deployment of UN peacekeeping forces in Transcaucasia, while feasible in principle, was scarcely likely, mainly because of financial constraints and fears that the entry of UN forces into one of the conflict zones could set an unwelcome precedent for wider armed participation by the UN in regulating crises on CIS territory.

	Security Problems in Transcaucasia: Ethnic, Oil and Political Factors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The security problem of the Transcaucasia and Central Asia region was the subject of failed discussions on the fringe of the Ashgabat meetings of late May 2002 to reach a fair settlement for the distribution of the region’s resources.
		The attempts of a recent charter to bring stability to Transcaucasia failed as a result of the myriad contradictions and disputes in the area.
		The countries of the region have thus to realise that their collective security is dependent on the security of each country separately and the turning of the region from a geographic term to an active geopolitical mechanism.

		Innumerable wars and raids tended to drive out the original Armenian population of Transcaucasia, except for mountainous Karabakh, and to increase the Muslim population.

	Contested Borders in the Caucasus : Chapter IV (1/3)
		Such a "struggle-for-power conflict" occurred twice in Transcaucasia in recent times: in Georgia between the supporters and opponents of the first elected President, Zviad Gamsakhurdia (December 1991 - late 1993), and in Azerbaijan with the coup against the democratically elected President Elcibey (June 1993).
		The players involved - just as in the first case - are the regular army of a State and one or more non-governmental armies from this State, but - unlike in the first kind of conflict - their aim is either to maintain or to change existing State borders.
		The UN was not involved in the first stages of the three national liberation conflicts in Transcaucasia: these had already begun before the break-up of the USSR, so the principle of non-interference in internal affairs prevailed.

		South China and Transcaucasia are two of a few areas in the world with marine Lopingian strata.

		Tsarist officials were obliged to rely on these 'pernicious heretics' to administer the region because there were so few other Russians in Transcaucasia.
