Crossfire War - Georgia President States Russian Maneuvers a Threat
"The Georgian Parliament has instructed the government to prepare for the immediate suspension of Russian peacekeeping operations in the conflict zones of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Georgian authorities accuse the Russian peacekeepers of violating their mandate by supplying arms to separatist forces in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and Russia of attempting to permanently annex Georgian territory. Georgia wants to internationalize the peacekeeping operations. Russia's role in the conflict regions has been cited as a reason for Georgia not to support their neighbor's accession to the World-Trade-Organization. This is the sixth resolution by the Georgian legislature requesting the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers." -Deborah Wild

"The Georgian Parliament's decision on Russia's peacekeeping mission in Abkhazia and South Ossetia may become the last straw to break relative stability and to trigger a chain reaction of tension in the region." -South Caucasus expert Alexander Ivaskov
"This is more of a flashpoint than even the Balkans and with Moscow already engaged heavily in the North Caucasus fighting Islamic groups supported by Ankara-Tehran. The entire region is a crossroads of energy pipelines, the center of Tehran's economic agenda and the industrialized world, led by Berlin, cannot afford for Moscow to lose control over it."
