that were exectley my thoughts at first - lazy ! Later I softened my atitude.
Trully things had changed , its hard to blame Amberger since in 1996 there were no materials on internet about any Caucasuan tribe.Non of the republiks of caucasus had at the time means to develop internet network , most were involved in fight for independense.Not all Caucasians nations reemerged succsesfully from brake of the USSR. You might remember the end of bloody strugle for Chechen republic. But anyway its way diferent now and lots of materials coming to light. Small International conferences on Caucasus if not numerous but plenty at least. I attended few at Columbia myself.
