I can somehow understand Georgian position about south Ossetia, as North Ossetia already exists, even though I don't agree with it. But when it comes to Abkhazia i can't see any reasonable argument. Aren't Abkhazians also your/our brothers? I believe that they have the right to control their country by themselves and in our region where people always valued liberty no one has the right to put himself above others and to rule another people.
These peoples have every right to decide their own destiny. I want to note that I absolutely do not support the pro-Russian government in these countries, but this is all because of that they have no other choice. As Churchill said: βIf Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.". I don't compare Georgia to Nazi Germany, rather I compare the despair of Abkhazians, ready to accept any help just to achieve their independence.
I don't criticize anyone, i simply want to understand your position. I have great respect for Georgians and I see our people (all people of Caucasus) as brothers, that can manage any conflict simply negotiating without an war, that only benefits to our one common neighbor. /

[Edit 1] It got a lot of answers over the night that basically say: "They aren't real ethnicity, made up nation. These are our territoires. Russian propaganda. Etc etc etc"
I don't want to answer same thing to each one individually, so i will summarize here:
Phrases like they never existed, that they aren't a real nation etc. are insulting and this only proves why you shouldn't live in the same country, while you use this insulting hate speech. Let's pretend for a second that it's true. Even if they never existed before, today they are a formed nation with their culture and traditions and you have to deal with. You can say whatever you want, but they have the mindset of themselves being a separate nation that is not related to Georgians or Circassians.
Georgia is one of the oldest country. During it's long history Georgia was entirely or partly occupated by Persians, Arabs, Greeks, Turkish, Russians, Mongols, maybe even Armenians. The point is, If we get stuck in history, it turns out that no one has a right to any land. There will simply be a whole period in history when countries claimed rights over territories until, in the end, there is no country left. In today's Europe they understood that and understand th

From childhood, Nart dreamed of visiting his historical homeland, a feeling of love for his history and an understanding of his origin were cultivated in the Tlysh family. Nart's father is Adyghe, and his mother is Ubykh, they raised their children on the Nart epic and Caucasian traditions. In Jordan, Caucasians who left their homeland during the period of mahajirism settled not far from each other. Circassians, Abazins, Ubykhs and Abkhazians lived in the neighborhood and considered themselves one people. Where Nart grew up, there were more Circassians, and in this area, many spoke and knew the Circassian language. Nart did not know Arabic until the age of six, and in his first year at school he did not understand teachers and students. "It is difficult to grow up and live in a foreign country without adopting its traditions and culture, while maintaining your own identity. Many repatriates experience internal conflicts. We are always in the status of refugees and are always looking for our place and our home. Everyone wants to be proud of their origin, but at the same time be part of the world they live in. The new generation is gradually forgetting the traditions of their historical homeland, and under the influence of globalization, we merge with the country in which we live, "explains the repatriate. According to Nart, he was constantly looking for his place in the sun, he could not find his "home" and spiritual harmony. Educated as a programmer, Nart worked for a long time in his specialty in Jordan, then went to America for new opportunities. It was not difficult for a specialist in his profession to find a job in the USA. He traveled all over the country and in four years managed to live and work in many states, but he failed to call America home. "I turned 30 and still continued to look for my place in the world. In 2016, I decided to leave America and move to live in the Caucasus. It was not difficult to get to Abkhazia, I sent a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Abkhazia, and they sent me permission to visit the country" - recalls the repatriate.
Nart began to study the language at the Abkhaz language development fund. The teacher Diana Shamba gave him free grammar lessons. But time passed, and he did not speak Abkhazian in order to rectify the situation, Nart βforgotβ all the languages ββ\u200b\u200bhe knew for half a year and in communicating with people, with friends,

I'm curious to know what life is like for the people that live in these unofficial countries. How do the people get by? Where do their politics lie? How close are they to true independence?
30 M USA, can work remote-American. I speak english and am open to learning other lnguges. I also have a reasonable amount of cash to move, but not enough to pay a giant amount of money for citizenship.
I like eastern european culture and would like to either get citizenship or a permanent residence visa, or even a longer term visa for highly skilled people. I have a Masters in software engineering and work experience in software, but not at the executive level.
Are there any eastern european countries that have skilled immigration programs? Kind of like the german blue card?
Or other less known skilled immigration programs? I am also open to latin america but it sucks that they are't generally that open outside of ecuador.
