Armenia at the Crossroads: Democracy and Nationhood in the Post-Soviet Era

In the early days of perestroika & glasnost, Armenia was one of the first Soviet republics to start a process of radical reform towards democracy & social change. ARMENIA AT THE CROSSROADS is a compilation of essays, interviews & speeches by the leaders of the national democratic movement in Armenia. The ideas articulated here led their authors first to Soviet prisons. Now, they lead the Republic of Armenia. The collection allows a true understanding of the bold vision of Armenia's current leaders. It describes the process & challenges of developing a new national thought in the post-Soviet era. The introduction & postscript by the editor offer an insightful analysis of the movement. Until recently, Director of the Zoryan Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Librarian, and historian, now serves as the Director of the Department of Research & Analysis, Presidium of the Parliament of Armenia.
