The smoldering centers of conflict in the Caucasus and Trans-Caucasus, including those in the areas of the Armenian-Azerbaijanis, the Chechens, the Ossetian-Ingush, the South Ossetians, the Abkhazijans and the Lezgins, are already negatively affecting the situation in the North Caucasus region, as well as Georgia and Azerbaijan.

Indisputably, the greatest problem for Russia in the North Caucasus is the "Chechen issue," the fact that a state within the Russian Federation's borders does not recognize Russian federal laws and therefore threatens the integrity and security of Russia.
