On 14 August, Abkhazia commemorated the victims of the Georgian-Abkhaz war, which began on that day in 1992. The war ended in 1993 with Georgia’s defeat, but the conflict remains unresolved.
Georgian authorities have made clear their pessimism over resolving the conflicts with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, according to Abkhaz journalist Inal Khashig, editor of the newspaper Chegemskaya Pravda.
A new stage of Russia–Abkhazia cooperation is, in essence, a controlled integration of Abkhazia into the Russian Federation. This is how the Abkhaz media outlet Aiashara interprets several recent decisions made by the Kremlin regarding Abkhazian citizens.
Editor of Chegemskaya Pravda Inal Khashig discusses influences surrounding constitutional reform with Tamaz Ketsba, a member of the Public Chamber and expert of the Working Group on Constitutional Reform.
Inal Khashig: "For Moscow, Georgia is currently the most important hub for re-export. In this context, will Moscow look for an option acceptable to Abkhazia, or will it simply push through the decision it needs?"
