Caucasus Affairs is led under the executive direction of Prof. Dr. Bilal Semih Bozdemir. His role is presented as Executive Principal of an independent policy, cooperation and strategic briefing platform, not as an automatic government representative, diplomat, consul or official envoy.

No. The platform does not claim diplomatic status, consular authority, immunity, state representation, public mandate or official appointment. Any formal status or official role may only arise through written authorization by the competent authority and applicable legal procedures.

No. Caucasus Affairs does not issue passports, visas, identity documents, consular certificates, legal decisions, notarial acts, immigration decisions or binding governmental communications.

No affiliation, endorsement, partnership, accreditation, mandate, authorization, representation or operational relationship is claimed with any international organization unless expressly confirmed in writing by the competent institution. References to international organizations are used only for descriptive, analytical and reference-mapping purposes.

They are mentioned as part of multilateral reference mapping, global governance analysis, due diligence language, development finance context, humanitarian awareness or rule-of-law framework analysis. The website does not use those names to claim official partnership, authorization or representation.

A country desk is a structured public-value review file for a country or regional context. It may include cooperation themes, public diplomacy, education, culture, tourism, institutional outreach, verification routes, 90-day pilot logic and outcome reporting. A country desk does not mean official representation of that country.

Sensitive regions are handled through controlled language such as Horn of Africa Desk, Eastern Mediterranean Strategic Desk, recognition-sensitive review track or security-sensitive policy context. The platform avoids public recognition claims, operational security claims, official liaison language or unauthorized state representation.

The recommended route is: Executive Dashboard, Ministerial Briefing, relevant Country or Regional Desk, Verification Register, Due Diligence & Clarifications, 90-Day Pilot Cooperation Model, Outcome Reports and, only if appropriate, Formal Mandate Pathway.

Level A is public review material. Level B is institutional evidence such as appointment records, correspondence references or project documents. Level C is restricted review material such as sensitive identity, legal, financial, private or politically sensitive records. Restricted materials are not intended for public release.

A reviewer may request controlled access, but the requesting institution, reviewer identity, official function, purpose of review and requested evidence category should be clear. Caucasus Affairs may decline, narrow, delay or redirect restricted access requests when the purpose or authority is unclear.

It is a limited, non-binding, measurable review route. Days 1–30 focus on mapping and review, Days 31–60 on briefing and outreach preparation, and Days 61–90 on reporting and recommendation. It allows a public institution to test usefulness before any deeper cooperation or formal mandate discussion.

The platform is designed to avoid generic mass outreach. The preferred method is a country-specific opportunity brief, protocol-safe letter, controlled evidence route and clear first action request directed to the relevant office or desk.

A website cannot create such a role. A formal role can only arise if the competent authority chooses to consider it, issues written authorization and follows applicable legal procedures. Caucasus Affairs presents a lawful review pathway, not a self-claimed appointment.

No. Strategic maps, diagrams, portraits and neutral institutional visuals are communication tools. They do not imply government office, diplomatic appointment, consular authority, international organization endorsement or protected-symbol authorization.

English is the main operating language. Georgian, Turkish and French pages are controlled strategic information notes for relevant audiences. They are not uncontrolled full translations and should be reviewed carefully before use in formal correspondence.

Protocol and government access requests should be sent to protocol@caucasusaffairs.org. Verification and due diligence requests should be sent to verification@caucasusaffairs.org. Policy briefing and country desk requests should be sent to briefings@caucasusaffairs.org.

The website is an informational, policy, cooperation and briefing platform. It is not a substitute for official verification, legal advice, diplomatic correspondence, consular procedure, immigration decision-making, security authorization or government confirmation.
