[edit] Map colours

The map is a little confusing with Russia and Turkey being pink, and Georgia and Iran being light orange. Also, it would be nice to see the capital cities marked. - Image:Icons-flag-scotland.png calum 16:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misleading map

The map is misleading. In the Georgia article I read that Georgia is partly in the North Caucasus and partly in th South Caucasus. The map shows only the political boundaries and gives no indication of where the South Caucasus is.

Also the article does not explain what the South Caucasus is and why it should be considered distinct from the North Caucasus.

I believe that the political, ethnographic and economic structure of this region is highly influenced by the placement of mountain ranges(ridges), mountain passes, and river valleys. I suspect that the South/North distinction has something to do with this geography and the article really should try to explain that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.152.136.95 (talk) 15:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Idea of South Caucasus

The article fails to present the nature of South Caucasus: There should be clear statement that it is not the southern part of the Caucasus Mountains, but rather it is a geo-political name of three ex-Soviet Republics. Thus, the statement that some of Georgia and Azerbaijan are not in the South Caucasus are to be considered misleading. GuggiePrg 19:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caucasian

Does this article need to address whether or not South Caucasus has any link at all, direct or indirect, to the nationality known as "Caucasian"? (I confess that I have no idea.) Thanks. 98.202.38.225 (talk) 15:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
