...President Mikheil Saakashvili unveiled an autonomy plan for the breakaway republic of South Ossetia as part of his efforts to reunite the country. Under the proposal, the province would have the right to elect its own local parliament, with control over education, policing and social policies. South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity immediately rejected the plan; the republic has been effectively self-governing since the early 1990s and has close ties with Russia. A Breach of the Peace SUDAN U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he was "deeply disturbed" by an attack near the town of Shangil Tobaya in the western...
...Belgrade in 2000, and each time the opposition prevailed. At least one group has played a role in all three movements. Serbia's Otpor, or Resistance, the student organization that spearheaded the revolution that ousted Slobodan Milosevic in 2000, sent "trainers" to aid activists who helped unseat Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze in 2003. And earlier this year, the group provided training to Ukraine's Pora, the biggest opposition youth group in Kiev...
...more important impact on Harvard’s visual arts program than the completed structure itself. Indeed, a historical monograph published by the University to commemorate the building’s completion—Le Corbusier at Work, edited by Professor Emeritus and first director of the Carpenter Center, Eduard F.

This time, it was Aslan Abashidze, for the past 13 years the authoritarian boss of Ajaria; an autonomous republic in Georgia's southwest corner. "It's over," said Givi Targamadze, chairman of Georgia's Parliamentary Committee for Defense and Security. "The only thing that remains to be seen is who will come from Moscow to take Mr. Abashidze to Russia." That same night, the secretary of the Russian Security...
When Mikheil Saakashvili led Georgia's bloodless "revolution of the roses" to oust Eduard Shevardnadze as President in November, he demonstrated formidable political skills: an ability to excite a crowd, a flair for clandestine organization, a taste for brinkmanship. Now President Saakashvili is using those skills to try and bring Ajaria - one of three breakaway regions - back into the fold. An economically important Black Sea region, Ajaria is run by Aslan Abashidze, a tough, rich autocrat Saakashvili has called a "feudal chief." When the President turned up on Ajaria's borders, ostensibly to campaign for allies running in the March...
