GEORGIAN-ABKHAZIAN RELATIONS ACCORDING TO PUBLICATIONS OF THE MAGAZINE “CHVENEBUREBI”

Abstract

In the article are examined the publications of the magazine “Chveneburebi”, concerning the place of Abkhazia in the history of Georgia, Georgian-Abkhazian relations and conflict, the role of the third force in the escalation of the conflict. The magazine was being issued in the Republic of Turkey, Istanbul, in the 70th-90th years of the XX century and in the 2000th years. The publications belong to Turkish, Georgian, Russian researchers and journalists. This material, in spite of the depth of the analysis of the events, thanks to great efforts of the authors and publishers, offered to the audience in a popular form, aims to put the correct accents, without keen criticism of Russia and sharp characterization of the position of Turkey. The balanced publications of the magazine “Chveneburebi” are worthwhile, as they became able to offer to a part of the Turkish society real and correct information in the context of Georgian-Abkhazian relations and tragic conflict.
