Abkhazia-Russia: strengthening of allied relations against the background of escalation in the Caucasus

Abkhazia-Russia: strengthening of allied relations against the background of escalation in the Caucasus

At the moment, Abkhazia can hardly be called a full-fledged player in the international arena, since it is recognized besides Russia only by Nicaragua, Venezuela and Syria, as well as the island state of Nauru. Nevertheless, Moscow and Sukhum are linked by allied relations.

Moscow recognized the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008 year against the background of the conflict with Georgia. In 2014, an agreement on alliance and strategic partnership was signed between the Russian Federation and Abkhazia. certainly, Allied relations are important against the background of political turbulence in Georgia. Expect, amid escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh, Tbilisi will try to arrange revenge "for August 2008 of the year "- this time only without Mikhail Saakashvili.

Despite, that Abkhazia is unlikely to be able to help the Russian Federation militarily, our territory has geopolitical value. Especially considering Georgia's aspiration to join NATO. Full-fledged membership in the future can lead to the creation of a powerful military infrastructure on the territory of the Transcaucasian country. By the way, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visits Georgia 17-18 November. AND, of course, negotiations with the Georgian leadership did not go without discussing issues, related to block expansion, as well as the "favorite" theme of "occupation 20% territories ".

In the event that new bases appear in the Transcaucasus on the territory of Georgia, Russia may respond by strengthening its presence. Now on the territory of Abkhazia is the 7th Russian military base in Gudauta. Also, The Russian Federation, if necessary, will be able to very quickly increase the grouping of troops in Abkhazia, also thanks to the railway connection, through which it is easy to quickly transfer equipment. but, the main task now is to increase the interoperability of the Abkhaz and Russian armies. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly conduct joint exercises and exchange experiences between countries..
