. 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 ...
... partially recognized states.
In 2000, it was difficult to know whether Beijing would be ready to recognize Kosovo, Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia or even Nagorno-Karabakh. On decade later in 2011, it is clear that Chinese diplomacy will not recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia (recognized by Russia in 2008) and that Moscow will not venture to recognize Taiwan.
Finally, the report could shed light on the tensions between Russia and China in the 1990s, and its disclosure would therefore be aimed at creating tensions between the two countries....
... do deter the parties from repeating the events of April 2016, the threat still remains. One such aspect is the fact that the Russian-Turkish relationship has acquired a pragmatic nature (the genuine improvement of relations between the two countries is a distant prospect yet).
The conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia are being transformed, with the main problem there now being internal development, rather than a confrontation with ...
... “radicalized” Georgian nationalism; it became more belligerent towards perceived threats from minorities, especially Ossetians and Abkhaz” (Suny 1994, 317-323; Zürcher 2005, 90). For Devdariani (2005) Gamsakhurdia and his movement “perceived Abkhazia and South Ossetia as simply tools for Russian pressure directed against Georgian independence…"[C]oncerns of [their] local elites…[were ignored and]…tensions spiraled into violent clashes…[They failed] to see how...[their] own quest for independence challenged ...
... “Soldier-Vicar” under the US one remains unclear. Moreover, reducing Moscow’s role to the military-diplomatic sphere appears quite erroneous. It should be noted that nearly half of all foreign investment in the Armenian economy comes from Russia, and the latter has been the only country involved in the reconstruction of Abkhazia and South Ossetia after 2008, which were destroyed during the conflict. The effectiveness of this reconstruction process can (and should) be open to debate, but one thing is certain: Russia's actions testify to an immanent striving not only for geopolitical ...
... create a constructive spirit and 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 ...
... in History, Associate Professor with the Department of Regional Studies and Foreign Policy at the Russian State University for the Humanities and RIAC expert, shares his insights on the issue.
I would like to note that it is important not to confuse Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as Russia's relations with each are quite different. Despite Abkhazia's dependence on Russia in matters of defense, security and public funds, its national elite is striving to develop a state project (this aspiration is definitely there, however contradictory ...

RD: How efficient is the format of Geneva international discussions on security and stability matters in the South Caucasus, with equal participation of Abkhazia, Georgia, South Ossetia, Russia, and the United States in the collective co-presidency of the EU, the UN and the OSCE?

... improvement on all previous plans. It is focused on economic expediency and the logic of mutually beneficial integration rather than reunion for the sake of reunion.
Russia’s most controversial postwar move was the recognition of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. In the five years since, Russia has not convinced any major country to do the same and is unlikely to succeed any time soon. Moscow had to make the decision because the situation was rocky and needed to be stabilized. But it has not resolved the problem. The political and diplomatic ...
