Georgia civil war — Part 1

Posted by Matt in May 14th, 2008

Analysts are actively debating the possible outcomes of an armed conflict between Georgia and the self-proclaimed republic of Abkhazia, which seceded from Georgia in 1992.

Without looking into the most pessimistic scenarios envisioning a nuclear conflict between Russia and NATO, let’s try to predict the possible outcomes of a Georgian-Abkhazian conflict.

In late 2007 the Georgian armed forces had about 33,000 officers and men, including a 22,000-strong army that comprised five brigades and eight detached battalions.

	"Georgia has lost Abkhazia forever": Maksim Gunjia, Abkhazia Abkhazia is a country in the Caucasus, on the Black Sea coast, which gained independence from Georgia after a military conflict between 1992 and 1993 -- a conflict which is known in Abkhazia itself as the War of Independence. Since then, Abkhazia has remained independent but without international recognition. But possible recognition of independence of Kosovo has put this unrecognised country into the spotlight of the world media. The guest of the Spotlight Today is Abkhazia's Deputy Foreign Minister, Maksim Gunjia. Tags: Abkhzia, conflict, country, Georgia, Independance, military, unrecognized, war
