Georgians didn't make majority also: lets make it simple - Gamsakhurdia
screwed up to such degree that initially neutral local Russians and
Armenians during conflict sided up with aborigines. This cannot be
fixed. People of Abkhazia found out they can perfectly live without
Georgia and they are not coming back. Ever.
Those who do not want the place to go to hell stick to the things as
they are right now - as a saying go - the bad peace is better than a
good war.
Except I suspect that if Georgia would have succeeded in its Nato drive
Russia would have provoked a fire just to give Nato an idea what buffer
zone life may be. I doubt very much Euros would like to dodge bullets
there and the US has much bigger headaches to take care of.
