The USSR authorities are to blame for all the CIS present conflicts

PanARMENIAN.Net - It should be mentioned that the majority of the population of the unrecognized republics are Russian citizens and on the basis of their citizenship they already have the right of Russia's protection. Later it was mentioned in the announcement of the RF Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the Federal organs of the executive power are charged with realization of cooperation with Abkhazia and South Ossetia within the frames of legal assistance in civil, family, and criminal cases. "Besides, if needed, the territorial organs of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Krasnodar Territory and in South Ossetia will function as consulates in interests of the people living in Abkhazia and South Ossetia."

The instructions of the Russian President have already given reasons for "serious agitations" in the EU and NATO. Javier Solana expressed his "concern" with the decision of Moscow. The Georgian President Michael Saakashvili has already called Solana to share his concern with him. The NATO Secretary General Yap de Hoop Schaeffer also spoke of his "big worry" with Russia's actions. This common concern received its conformation in the decision of the UN Security Council, which extended the mandate of the UN mission for observations in Georgia for 6 more months, till October 15, 2008. Since the decisions of the UN Security Council are taken on the bases of the consensus of its five permanent member countries, they are usually the result of a big compromise.

Meanwhile, Tbilisi qualifies Moscow's measures of support of the unrecognized Republics Abkhazia and South Ossetia as an attempt of annexation of the two Georgian regions. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia David Bakradze told the journalists about this after the session of the Security Council was over. According to Bakradze, Tbilisi hasn't got any official notification about Russia's decision, but according to Mass Media, "this is simply an attempt of annexation of the two Georgian regions."

In case of establishment of special relations Russia will violate all the existing international norms and recognized principles of the territorial integrity of Georgia," said Bakradze.

It may somehow be assumed that Russia's actions are kind of response to the declaration of the Kosovo independence and Georgia's and Ukraine's attempts of integrating into NATO. It is considered in Moscow that if Kosovo is a unique conflict, the same may be said about Abkhazia and South Ossetia. And it is most likely that Russia won't be contented with these actions only. The conflicts in the Post-Soviet areas are interpreted quite differently in Moscow and Washington, and it is quite possible that in the near future it will be the turn of the Crimea, which has been thoughtlessly given to the Ukraine by Nikita Khrushchev in 1954. In fact, the authorities of the USSR, which have been deciding on the borders of the republic the way they found correct and profitable, are to blame for all the CIS present conflicts.
