Abstract
The article is devoted to the issue of national and ethnic minorities in Georgia. The author analyzes the Azeri and Armenian minorities, the territorial development of the regions of their compact residence (Samtskhe-Javakheti and Kvemo-Kartli) and their secessionist potential. The author focuses on the sub-ethnic groups within the Georgian people: Megrelians, Swann, Laz, Kistinians and Yezidis. This paper presents statistics of ethno-national and linguistic issues. The author examines the development of post-Soviet Georgia and large-scale reforms implemented after the «Rose Revolution» including the sphere of interethnic relations. The conclusion concerns the future of Russian-Georgian relations in the light of Russia’s support for the single national minorities. The population of Abkhazia and South Ossetia isn’t the subject of this article.
