The Caucasian Rope Walker
Local Russian News In English
Hillary Clinton's short but intense visit to the Southern Caucasus, which took place on June 4 to 5, was being widely discussed in political and expert circles way before it began. Such substantial interest had serious grounds. Firstly, the U.S. Secretary of state went on her east European tour (besides Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia she also went to Poland and Ukraine) soon after Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama met in Washington, and the spy scandal made headlines. The latter two events provided a concrete topic for discussing the difficulty, inconsistency and incoherency of the Russian-American 'reset' announced 18 months ago. Source: Russia Profile.org
