UNRECOGNIZED STATES OF CAUCASUS: THE PROBLEM'S ORIGIN
The fact that the unrecognized states exist is a national trauma for
the state institutions recognized by the international community.
According to military and political analyst Sergey Markedonov's
article titled `Unrecognized States of Caucasus: the Problem's
Origin', `existence of Nagorno Karabakh (the most competent state on
the post - Soviet territory) testifies to independent Azerbaijan's
political failure, which has lost not only Karabakh land, but also
the sovereignty over the five regions completely and two partially)'.
Having denied the Soviet territorial construction (which,
undoubtedly, cannot be considered optimal) Georgia and Azerbaijan has
been entrapped casting doubts on their sovereignty's legitimacy and
independent development. In fact both states showed double standard
in the legitimacy of its national independence.
To note, without revising a lot of fundamental ideal - political
bases of Georgian and Azeri statehood it will be impossible to pursue
the state policy on return of `the occupied territories', believes
Markedonov.
