Relationships between Russia and Georgia

PIERRE Marie

AS GIDO

Presentation

Since years there is a conflict between Russia and Georgia. The aim of my work is to explain why.

Questions are « Why such a big country like Russia shows an interest in Georgia? » and « What are the real issues? »

This conflict includes a territorial issue in the Caucasus with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Indeed those countries and Georgia are not stable because of their several ethnic groups.

Presentation

South Ossetia is part of Georgia whereas North Ossetia is part of Russia.

South Ossetia claims independance : Russia acknowledges it whereas Georgia does not.

Russia does not approve the fact that Georgia is becoming closer to the West and more particulary to the United-States which bring us to the endless conflict between Russia and the USA.

Why this subject

o Today the situation between Russia and Georgia is still tense.

o This conflict has been in the news lately with the signature of a compromise between Russia and Georgia.

o I thought it would be interesting to explain their relationship in such a way that people understand the issues of this conflict.

Public

This watch is for everyone interested in Russian and Georgian politics and who would like to know more about their relationships, and in particular why Russia takes an interest in a small country such as Georgia.
