Post-independence armenia timeline."Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia has struggled to establish itself, with a faltering economy, emigration of the intelligentsia and the weakening of civil society. This book explores how a new national elite has emerged and how it has constructed a new national narrative to suit Armenia's new circumstances. The book examines the importance of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with Azerbaijan, considers the impact of fraught relations with Turkey and the impact of relations with other neighbouring states including Russia, and discusses the poorly-developed role of the very large Armenian diaspora. Overall, the book provides a key overview to understanding the forces shaping all aspects of present-day Armenia."--Provided by publisher.BASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European studies ;117.Elite (Social sciences)Armenia (Republic)Armenia (Republic)Economic conditions21st centuryArmenia (Republic)Social conditions21st centuryArmenia (Republic)Foreign relations21st centuryArmenia (Republic)Politics and government21st centuryElite (Social sciences)947.56086Ghaplanyan Irina1670382MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811109703321Post-soviet Armenia4032207UNINA
