THE CASPIAN ENERGETIC RESOURCES’ SECURITY AND THE CRISIS FROM GEORGIA

Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2008, Vol 29, Issue 4

Abstract

After four decades, another war starts, but this time not in the Middle East, but in Caucasus,transforming a frozen conflict , the one of the South Osetia, into an open one, counter-posing the Georgian forces to the secessionist ones, Abkhazian and South-Ossetian, then the Russian ones and the Georgian one, up to putting into practice the peace agreement mediated by the French chief of state, that represents the EU presidency in this second part of 2008. The secession announced by the South Ossetia and Abkhazia on the Georgian state forces the Tbilisi government to take measures for reestablishing, by armed force, the Constitutional order, measures translated by Russia as targeted against the Russian population from that territory and entitling the Moscow’s military intervention for “defending” the Russian ethnics. The events’ development is known. The attack, asserted as disproportionate, of the Russian Federation, puts the Georgian leadership in difficulty. There follows a range of international negotiations that bring EU in forefront. By the French president efforts, Nicolas Sarkozy, it succeeds to stop the conflict and to mediate the peace. Few aspects draw the attention of the phenomenon’s analysts: what it the real stake of the Caucasus 5 days war, who are the actors interested in the region and how will be provided the region’s security on average and long term? We have tried to find an answer to these questions in the following pages.
