Today we can definitely say that the international community knew about something that was to happen in Georgia in those days. It was not a competition between equal competitors, and if not for the quick reaction of the international community, it could have finished lethally for one of them. But the events of August 2008 unveiled the real nature of the post-war situation, which, unfortunately, was too far from the “frozen” condition.Īs it is widely acknowledged, on August the 8th, 2008 while the cameras of the entire world looked on Beijing, China, in Georgia, the geopolitically important region between the West and the East, another kind of competition had started. As a result of Russian Federation’s pioneered post-war efforts the situation in two breakaway regions of Georgia was continuously considered as the “frozen conflicts”. Georgia suffered two conflicts – in Abkhazia and in South Ossetia.
AFTER the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics the region of the South Caucasus became an area of different conflicts, which in the case of Georgia reached the level of full-scale armed conflicts.
