CONTEMPORARY EURASIA VIII (2) ContEurVIII2 | Page 61

CONTEMPORARY EURASIA VIII (2) which is not directly related to self-determination, now faces the problem of self-determination in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Resolved and frozen conflicts condition the stability and potential dangers in the region, as in the case of Cyprus. And in case of all conflicts, domestic political developments directly affect conflict settlement and its perceptions. All of this also shapes international perceptions of the right to self- determination and the conflicts that arose on that basis, as well as those of the opposing sides.   61
