. The situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia is stabilised since 2008, and the rhetoric of a Russian interest in occupying the whole Georgia does not goes in line with a geopolitical reality. As such, Tbilisi could develop its internal policy on the short run and focus on the two “occupied” territories (Abkhazia and South Ossetia) on the ...

... negotiations, the situation deteriorates every so often, as was the case in February 2017. Although certain aspects of the conflict do deter the parties from repeating the events of April 2016, the threat still remains.

The conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia are being transformed, with the main problem there now being internal development, rather than a confrontation with Georgia. After Moscow recognized Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence, it actually became their guarantor and patron....

However, the “five-day war” rendered the Dagomys Agreement of 1992 (which established the Joint Control Commission) obsolete. Russia,...
... search for solutions to many very difficult problems in Russian–Georgian relations. As for Russia’s actions, we do not understand the reasoning behind the decision to sign new integration agreements with Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali Region (South Ossetia). The Russian side insists that there is nothing new in these agreements. If this is the case, then it is not clear why they would want to spoil a good start. On the other hand, in reality we can see that these agreements contain much that is new. And this ...
... parliamentary Speaker. The party's supporters favor unification with the Russian Federation's North Ossetia under Russian auspices.
