Georgia, Abkhazia: Tbilisi verso l’uso della forza?
6/6/2008Sabine Freizer, Program Director dell’International Crisis Group, mette in guardia sul rischio di degenerazione della conflittualità russo-georgiana in Abkhazia in un’intervista per RFERL.
We are very concerned about the dispute between Georgia and Russia, and feel that it is entering a new, dangerously confrontational phase, and that the risk of war is increasingly growing in the South Caucasus because of this conflict.
What we say is that there are several steps both sides need to take. Most explicitly, Russia should pull back the troops that it has deployed most recently, in April and May. And we also believe that Tbilisi should cool down any rhetoric, and move forward with its peace initiatives towards Abkhazia.
