| Research Abstract |
It has been considered that autonomy and power sharing is a tool of conflict prevention since 1970's. However, the Caucasian ethnic wars in the early 1990s proved that autonomy instead was a vital factor of the ethnic wars. The support by Armenians through ethnic network of the Armenian diaspora and Armenia Republic enabled the Armenian in Nagorno Karabakh to fight the Nagorno-Karabakh war. The Abkhazia peoples who were originally ethnic minority in this autonomous republic of Abkhazia in Georgian Republic, were able to mobilize their ethnic identity and eventually could successfully conclude ethnic cleansing through power sharing in the parliament first, and then finally became independent. Here again the existence of ethnic autonomy contributed to mobilize the ethnic identity in the ethnic politics.
