The discussion at the Frontline Club tonight focusses on the Caucasus. As usual, we’ll be broadcasting the discussion on the Frontline Club live channel. We start at 7.30pm UK time, Wed 24 Sept. If you can’t make it in person, I hope you can join us online.
Is the West being hypocritical in refusing to recognise South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, after its recent support and recognition of Kosovo’s independence? Should Georgia be encouraged to join NATO? And how concerned should we be over the frosty relationship that’s developing between Russia and the West? link to livestream
