Georgian-Ossetian conflict has its roots in the twenties of the last century, at a time when South Ossetia was forcibly incorporated into Georgia.The confrontation was brewing, and one day it was supposed to develop into a large-scale action.
And this despite the fact that in 1922 the Central Executive Committee issued the decree and decided to establish autonomy in the republic, which, however, according to historians, was nominal.The Georgian leadership pursued a policy of assimilation forced indigenous people to change the nationality of the passport, there were new geographical names, etc.
also worsened the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in 1989, when the Council of People's Deputies, convened by the then in the South Ossetian region, adopted a resolution on transforming it into an autonomous republic, which, however, remained a part of Georgia.In the city of Tskhinvali began numerous rallies that demanded by the official Tbilisi cancel this decision.Clashes broke out, which resulted in human casualties.
Georgian-Ossetian conflict fueled by the fact that Georgia has chosen the path of independence from the USSR, and its autonomy decided to stay in the Union.The situation escalated and due to nationalist slogans the leaders of the Georgian movement.
active phase of the conflict is at the beginning of the nineties, when the moment comes the armed confrontation.And in May 1992, the supreme power of autonomy takes Act proclaiming its independence.
Being by nature a typically ethnic, born of the desire of national minorities to use their right to self-Ossetian conflict in August 2008, turned into a real war.Georgian population had to pay dearly for his political gamble of Tbilisi, and the autonomy of the indigenous people is almost exactly repeating the fate of Georgians in Abkhazia.
Georgian-Ossetian conflict turned into an explosive phase after the decision of Tbilisi to revise the balance of forces in South Ossetia, which has contributed much to the victory of Saakashvili's election.The statements of the Georgian president is increasingly began to sound calls for the reunification of Georgia, to the need to abolish the peaceful settlement of formats.
Negotiations ceased in the 2008th ...
A night of August 8, the Georgian side made an assault on Tskhinvali, fired artillery shells at South Ossetia's capital and surrounding areas, resulting in many lives cut short.According to the Georgian official version it was a response to the violation of the ceasefire by the Authority.On the same day to the conflict joined the Russian peacekeeping troops.It launched a military operation, the aim of which was forcing the Georgian authorities to peace.
such harsh reaction from Russia did not expect any Georgian authorities nor Western observers.
Georgian-Ossetian conflict in 2008 has been prepared by the whole logic of the previous steps, when the confrontation was "unfrozen".This explains the direct intervention of Russian peacekeepers.
Today, no one, neither experts nor politicians can not tell the exact number of people killed as a result of five days of military events of August two thousand and eight.
Five of these days have turned into a disaster for most of Tbilisi.The "United Georgia" is almost completely failed.A new cycle of violence on his part made it impossible to integrate on a peaceful basis.
Over the past 17 years has seen three wars Tskhinvali is unlikely to be taken seriously any proposals from Tbilisi.In addition, the country has experienced a "revolution of roses", and she received a "gift" - about twenty thousand refugees.
