Your comparison is faulty; forgetting for a moment the qualitative differences between Georgian and Russian or Serbian internal political dynamics (and their implications toward minority rights), the Abkhazians COMPRISED 20% OF ABKHAZIA BEFORE THEY ETHNICALLY CLEANSED A MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION (with significant Russian help)! Incidentally, the Georgians, Russians, and Abkhazians are all Orthodox Christians.
In any event, purported Western hypocrisy is irrelevant as far as the security interests of Finland are concerned.
