West must stand up to Russia or risk crisis-Georgia

Posted by Matt in May 3rd, 2008

The “moment of truth” has come for Europe to resist hardliners in Russia who are bent on stopping the spread of democracy in the former Soviet Union, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said on Thursday.

Moscow has sparked an international crisis by ordering extra troops and equipment to Abkhazia, a Black Sea province which threw off Georgian rule in the 1990s. It says the forces are needed as peacekeepers because Tbilisi plans an invasion.

NATO has dismissed the invasion claim and Washington says Russia’s action risks destabilising the whole Caucasus region, a key transit route for energy supplies to the West.

But Saakashvili told Reuters that Europe needed to react more strongly to stop the crisis escalating into a major threat to international peace and stability.

Russia has information that Georgia is planning a military attack on Abkhazia to seize the capital Sukhumi, the Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a media briefing in Moscow on Monday. He said that the military potential of Georgia was being restored for a repeated act of aggression.

Georgian Separatist Regions Cause causes Friction Between Moscow Russia over Ossetia & Abkhazia Georgia kills Russians
Georgian Separatist Regions Cause Friction Between Moscow, Tbilisi Relations remain tense between Russia and Georgia several weeks after Georgian forces killed two Russian military officers in the Georgian separatist region of Abkhazia. Abkhazia is located in the northwestern corner of Georgia while South Ossetia is situated in the north-central part of that country. Both areas border Russia. Robert Legvold with Columbia University says the two regions are technically part of Georgia, but each has a strong separatist movement with different goals in mind.

Abkhazia TV 26: Act now to stop Russia
Ethnic Cleansing created more than three hundred thousands refugees and displaced persons in Georgia during the war in Abkhazia. This number increased with the expulsion of Georgians from Abkhazia and with the ferocious atrocities committed by Abkhazian militias against the Georgian majority in Abkhazia. At the beginning of 2007 there still are more than 5,000 people in Abkhazia missing mainly Georgians, but Russians, Armenians, Abkhazians, Greeks, Estonians, Jews and others among them.
