But if these 2 minorities in Georgia won't be part of Georgia but part of Russia and start to make rebellion, then they are again poor people and need support of Russia and this has of course nothing to do with Chechnyia too and isn't comparable etc. ... bla bla bla!
Georgia was free to perform any miracle of economy and motivate abkhazians and ossetians to join them inside their nice state. But they chose a different way. The choice was a choice of a land as for ossetians and abkhazians they didn't care. This is why Russia had to intervene. Now these minorities live in the land which belongs to them by nature and history and not by a piece of paper (as it really blongs to Georgia).
I have zero problems with eastern europeans having joined the EU. It was their national choice which I have to respect. But it seems that the way we respect their choice is far more than they respect the choice of people living east off Poland.
