It is Georgian tradition, new priemer new wars. Gumsaporda start fighting with all minorities and then civil war. Shevernazde in Abhazia and South Ossessia loose big time and back off on all minorities for fear of the whole Georgia splitting to little countries....guess Saakashvili must learn in blood too. When you make up less then 60% of population and attempt to force Georgianize or exterminate other 40% you then expect them 10 years later to come back and be friends? Stupid is as stupid does.

"This affair concerns Georgia's territory and Georgia is a sovereign state and has the right to take action to uphold the law on its own territory, just like Russia and other states."

Except that in both Abhazia and S.Ossessia, over 80% of peoples hold Russian passports and citizenships...which would mean Bilisi now kill Russian citizens.

In Adjaria Georgians never attempt whole sale extermination as in Abhazia and S.Ossessia, taking over, after massive military defeat in 1992, 1993, 2000 (in Abhazia...Georgia hire Galiyov -dead now- and 700 Chechins to invade first) locals of region don't want anything of Georgia but to get out.

Georgia should just let the region go back into russia where they want. If there are strategic minerals or oil deposits there, just neogtiate a cut for peaceful separation and be done with it.
