September 11 the Institute for War and Peace Reporting /IWPR/ Armenia
Branch will hold a discussion titled "Militarization of the Caucasus."

The discussion follows the special issue of the IWPR Caucasus Reporting
Service comprising three analytical articles from Azerbaijan, Armenia
and Georgia.

Up till now, relative stability in the Caucasus has been guaranteed
in large part due to a military balance, whose cornerstone has been
the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE). If the CFE
treaty begins to unravel, could that lead to a destabilization and
rise in tension in the South Caucasus, with the threat of unresolved
conflicts flaring up again?

The discussion will involve analysts, political and public figures
reporting on the subject.
