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

	NBC - Russia and Georgia head to war. 11 August 2008 New World Order Fears grow over Russia-Georgia conflict. Russian troops backed by tanks and fighter jets seized control of South Ossetia as fears grew of a wider conflict with Georgia over the separatist region. Georgia said it had withdrawn most of its troops from South Ossetia in the face of a build-up in Russian firepower and that it had lost control of the near-destroyed regional capital, Tskhinvali. International condemnation grew as Georgia claimed that Russian jets had bombed near the capital Tbilisi for the first time, targeting a military airfield. As diplomatic efforts intensified to bring an end to the crisis, officials in Tbilisi said Moscow had begun bombing Georgian territory in and around another restive province, Abkhazia. Georgian Reintegration Minister Temur Yakobashvili told...
