Federalisation Remains the Best Way for Georgia to Avoid Outbreaks of Further Internal Disputes: Interview with Prof. George Hewitt: Professor, London School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS) (Interview‪)‬

CRIA: In light of a tumultuous past--but with a view to the immediate future--would you give your thoughts on national reconciliation between Tbilisi, Sukhum and Tskhinval (and other parts of Georgia), and how progress might be best achieved? Hewitt: Sukhum and Tskhinval as metonyms for the Abkhazians and (South) Ossetians respectively, would strenuously object to the implication that Abkhazia and South Ossetia represent "parts" of a Georgia wherein they could be parties to any "national" reconciliation.
