"Echo of Abkhazia" publishes an interview with public figure and former parliamentarian Leonid Chamagua, discussing how far Abkhaz politicians are concerned about the outcome of the elections, and how it might impact Abkhazia.
While the authorities do not voice this publicly, they fear that the warming of Russian-Georgian relations could reach a “temperature” that threatens Abkhazia’s sovereignty.
Politicians in Abkhazia hope that whoever comes to power as a result of these elections will take steps toward resolving the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict peacefully.
Representatives of the opposition in Abkhazia personally conveyed their negative attitude towards the draft agreement on benefits for Russian investments in the Abkhaz economy to members of parliament.
