Summary/Abstract: After four decades, another war starts, but this time not in the Middle East, but in Caucasus, transforming a frozen conflict, the one from the South Osetia, into an open one, counter-posing the Georgian forces to the secessionist ones, Abkhazian and South-Ossetian, then the Russian ones and the Georgian one, up to putting into practice the peace agreement mediated by the French chief of state, that represents the EU presidency in this second part of 2008. The secession announced by the South Ossetia and Abkhazia on the Georgian state forces the Tbilisi government to take measures for reestablishing, by armed force, the Constitutional order, measures translated by Russia as targeted against the Russian population from that territory and entitling the Moscow’s military intervention for “defending” the Russian ethnics.
