Thus the material brought by me once more confirms normal,
more than normal kind relations among Abkhazians and
Georgians, which existed during military actions and are preserved
till today, the attitude of a man participant of the war who
lost everything and today is a displaced person in his own country.
It can‟tt be artificial, because among Georgian and Abkhazians
alongside with the stable social economic relations there
were strong cultural and everyday life relations. As a result of
long-term joint life almost common life mode and traditions
were formulated. They copied from each other the rites and traditions
which they considered good and fir. This is well seen in
culture of food /feast and in many traditions.
We don‟t want to offer the issue so as if there is an ideal
relation between Georgians and Abkhazians and that after the
conflict there is no tension between them, simply the work with
the respondents revealed that their mentality still preserves strongly
the positive existing earlier in their relations and at the
same time they evaluate adequately the created situation.
The evidenced material is absolutely sufficient to show
that Georgian-Abkhazian conflict is not of organic character and
that it was inspired artificially from outside. Simultaneously it
backs up out the opinion that the role of the still existing relations,
traditional culture and similar mentality, its correct and timely
application is most important in a matter of regulation of
the existing conflict.
Here we met with, as we think, the main problem that can call
into question future relations between Georgians and Abkhasians.

that had direct cultural-domestic and military relations with
each other. That is, their historic memory was still loaded with the
rules of traditional relations, habits, culture and mentality.
During this period that can be called the “period of estrangement”
a new generation appeared that is essentially deprived
of traditional diversity of relations and, as one might say, is in
