the caucasus is like honorary balkans in my mind, as a region that was fucked over first by byzantines, then ottomans, and then soviets, has a tense mix of islam and orthodox christianity, and is filled with a lot of fairly small but extremely fractious ethnicities whose wars tend to get forgotten by most of the world
#i would say filled with fractious yet extremely similar ethnicities but i'm not confident#are i.e. armenians and azeris (for example) as culturally similar (in peacetime) as say serbs and bosniaks?#seems less likely but idk
