It has been 21 years since the people of Georgia have not seen reconciliation. Perhaps the Abkhazians and Georgians would have found a common language, if not for the intervention of other countries. However, history does not know the word "if", and the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict is far from being resolved. Access to the Black Sea has become a tasty morsel for some countries of the world who will fight for it, despite the loss of life.
Causes of conflict
Even in 1991, the first outbreaks of discontent occurred in Georgia, but they were only of a national nature and were insignificant. The United States could not fail to take advantage of this opportunity, as the struggle for world dominance between the two strongest states was gaining momentum. The United States, as a NATO member, back in 1998 announced the bloc's military responsibility over what is happening in Ukraine, Moldova, and Transcaucasia. Thus, getting closer to Russia, they tried to "recapture" one by one the countries that supported it.
That NATO had a need to lay an oil pipe through the Transcaucasus, the Black Sea, the Balkans. Subsequently, it was decided to buildrailway connecting Central Asia, Transcaucasia, Black Sea, West. Then the US turns its attention to Georgia and thereby provokes the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict. First, the Georgian army switches to American weapons, and it becomes not very profitable for Russia to have such a neighbor, even dangerous.
Then Georgia hits Russia below the belt by joining NATO, although that was to be expected. The US dominates the country like it is at home. The Abkhazian conflict is developing with renewed vigor: the people of this region with pro-Russian sentiments are protesting against the Americans. Georgia is divided into two camps: some are drawn to the West, others - to Russia.
Ethnopolitical conflict
In history, this confrontation is also known as the "ethno-political conflict" because it was artificially provoked by two strong states of the world. This is a kind of struggle for the distribution of spheres of influence in the world. Russia does not want to lose Georgia as a peaceful neighbor. And the US really needs it. After all, it is possible to install nuclear warheads aimed at Russia on its territory.
Bloodshed there was unprofitable for any state or another. Nevertheless, the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict flared up. Russia has brought its peacekeeping troops into the territory of Abkhazia. The United States did not like this, and they quickly find a way out of the situation: since Georgia is a member of NATO, it is they (that is, the United States) who should send their peacekeeping units there. Well, the Allies were forced to retreat, and the current president of the Americans said that theycan repeat Yugoslavia.
America is afraid to develop serious hostilities in Abkhazia, so as not to provoke a war that will disrupt plans for the construction of the railway. In addition, any explosion can lead to disaster, since methane has accumulated in the old mines of Tkuarchal. The dust from its explosion will dissipate along the entire Black Sea coast.
Russia is worried about the emergency state of the Inguri hydroelectric power station, so the conduct of hostilities is also unprofitable for it. She is most interested in stabilizing the situation in Georgia, because this will put peace in the entire Transcaucasus. At present, the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict remains unresolved. No one wants to give up a tidbit of land. NATO's special envoy is working to bring peace here.
