It is not new for Georgia. We have seen the different forms of it throughout the years. It was the energy and economic tools used in , it was cyberattacks in In , as well, cyberattacks took place against Georgia. Russia has seized the opportunity, even in these times, to intensify its provocations. FP: The State Department has reported that Russian-backed authorities have put up more barriers to impede crossings, raising concerns about human rights violations.
Is the situation getting worse? DB: Since the occupation there are tens of thousands of new internally displaced persons in Georgia from the occupied regions of Tskhinvali [the capital of South Ossetia], South Ossetia, and Abkhazia. We see human rights violations on a daily basis.
What needs to be underlined is a very grave humanitarian situation on the ground in those two occupied regions which [are being] depopulated. You can see that the population has decreased four or five times in these regions from , to around 30, in Tskhinvali region of South Ossetia, and from up to to , to no more than , in Abkhazia. This took place mostly on ethnic grounds, and even today we see that this occupation line serves as a new kind of a tool for Russia to continue the kidnappings of Georgian citizens.
Around kidnappings took place last year and a year ago at the occupation line. There are closures of the so-called crossing points and continuous restriction of freedom of movement have also been used as another hybrid [warfare] instrument and extremely aggravated the humanitarian situation in the conflict-affected regions and occupied regions.
The occupation regime in Tskhinvali specifically has denied medical evacuation from the occupied district. That has led to multiple fatal cases. Fifteen people have died since the closure of the occupation line in September , due to the very irresponsible decision to deny patients to get emergency treatment. Now, on the other side the Georgian government is trying to extend the benefits that every Georgian citizen has to our citizens living in the occupied regions, which includes free health care.
But they are denied this opportunity. DB: Unfortunately, after six months of the aggression against Georgia, business with Russia went back to normal. As Georgia's most famous son, attitudes here towards "Uncle Joe" are complicated. After independence, many Stalin statues were torn down but now some are returning to town squares.
Some older Georgians revere him as a strong leader, who defeated Hitler, and are proud that tiny Georgia produced someone who had such an impact on world history.
But more often he's viewed as a tyrant responsible for brutal purges of his own people. What's the highest mountain range in Europe? The Alps? It is the Caucasus Mountains marking the border between Georgia and Russia. While the highest peak is in Russia, Georgia lays claim to the second highest, Shkara, which at 5,m 17, ft beats Mont Blanc by nearly m 1, ft. These dramatic mountains, with their terrifying hairpin roads and hidden villages cut off at winter, are the stuff of legend.
In Greek mythology they were one of the pillars holding up the world. And it was here that Zeus tied up Prometheus, to have his liver eaten by eagles.
Today they are increasingly becoming a destination for climbers, walkers or skiers looking for adventure. There is a startling amount of space-age architecture in Georgia. The new parliament building is a huge glass and concrete bubble, looking like a giant frog's eye. A slew of new police stations have been built that are all glass and see through, symbolic of Georgia's aspirations for democratic transparency.
Meanwhile, many of the country's roads and infrastructure remains in bad shape. President Mikheil Saakashvili's preference for flashy prestige projects to impress foreign investors and politicians, has not gone unnoticed.
Also, while glass government buildings may work well in temperate Northern Europe, buildings constructed like greenhouses are less suited to Georgia's scorching summers. There is a lot of body contact between men in Georgia. Men stroll down the main avenue arm-in-arm, or lounge on street corners, limbs entwined. A casual observer might be forgiven for thinking that this was a sign of tolerance towards homosexuality. They'd probably be wrong. According to surveys Georgia is one of the world's most homophobic countries - attitudes which came to the surface in May during a violent anti-gay demonstration in Tbilisi.
Tens of thousands of people were angry because a group of gay rights activists had wanted to gather for 30 minutes against homophobic violence. The anti-gay protesters shouted slogans through megaphones, and called for "gays to go back to Europe".
Many other Georgians, though, were shocked by the display of intolerance, describing it as "a sad day for Georgia. Georgia is known for being easy to do business with and is one of the least corrupt nations in the European Union. Starting in the year , present-day Georgia was part of the Russian Empire. Georgia declared its independence in , which Russia did not approve of and they absorbed the country into the newly forming Soviet Union.
The people of Georgia fought back against Soviet forces for much of the s and there were many violent and deadly clashes during that period before they were finally successful in gaining their independence in By Abkhazia in the northwest region of the country fought against the Georgian government for their liberation, but a ceasefire agreement was signed by In Russia accused Georgia of harboring rebels from Chechenia and raided the nation, but the United States helped equip Georgia to fight back.
In a pipeline burst on the Russian border, forcing Georgia to receive gas from Iran , but escalating tensions with Russia, beginning more years of fighting.
