The Provocative forces in the Karabakh and Abkhazia conflicts

Abstract

In the 90s of the 20th century, several significant conflicts occurred in the South Caucasus, following the collapse of
the Soviet Union. The armed conflicts launched by separatist forces in Karabakh and Abkhazia on ethnic grounds proved to be
particularly severe. This work serves to highlight all those direct or indirect actions that influenced the incitement of conflicts.
In addition to the common geographical region, a number of other similar and different features were identified. As reflected
in the final conclusion, the Karabakh conflict was a kind of order given by ordinary Karabakh Armenians (citizens of Soviet
Armenia) to the Yerevan government to completely separate from Azerbaijan in any form. Which, in turn, was reinforced by
the feeling among the ordinary Armenian population that Karabakh is historically Armenian land. In relation to Abkhazia, the
picture is mostly the opposite, where the government and pseudo-intelligence are trying to manipulate ordinary citizens of
society with the issue of Abkhazia's independence and to give impetus to future struggles with Georgians on this issue.
