Georgia is a
country which is located on the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern
Europe.
It is surrounded by Black sea in the west, Russia in the north,
Turkey and Armenia in the south as well as Azerbaijan in south-east.
The total area covered by Georgia is 69,700 kms and is inhabited by 5
million people.Since the establishment of the modern Georgian republic
in April 1991,
post-communist Georgia suffered from civil and economic crisis for
most of the 1990s.
This lasted until the peaceful Rose Revolution, when Georgia pursued a
strongly pro-Western foreign policy,
introducing a series of democratic and economic reforms aimed at NATO
and European integration.
The country's Western orientation soon led to the worsening of
relations with Russia,
culminating in the brief Russo-Georgian War.
