Iran and The Caucasus, Mission Statement

Iran & The Caucasus deals with the history of the Iranian and Caucasian
peoples. This multi-disciplinary journal aims at furthering our 
knowledge of
the region on a wide variety of fields such as economy, social sciences,
archaeology, religion, literature, philology, and anthropology. Iran & The
Caucasus is edited under the guidance of an editorial board consisting of
scholars from the region itself as well as from Europe and the United
States. It is therefore unique in being a scholarly forum in the truest
sense of the word on this region of growing importance, and a 
treasure-grove
of original information otherwise hardly to get at.

Iran & The Caucasus is supported by the Caucasian Center for Iranian 
Studies
in Yerevan, Armenia, and published by Brill Academic Publishers from 2003
onwards. It is predominantly written in the English language.  Beginning
with Volume 2004, the journal will be appear in 2 issues per year.
