Paata Zakareishvili: "Tbilisi can offer Abkhazia and Tskhinvali something Russia never can: not rigid control, but a long-term relationship based on respect for their human and political reality"
The Abkhaz opposition leader on political disagreements as the main threat to security; on the upcoming parliamentary elections; and on how to convince Georgia to abandon its illusions and recognize Abkhazia as a state.
Denis Cenusa: “Cyprus’s territorial issue wasn’t ‘existential’ for the EU, as its special relationship with Turkey played a role. For Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia, things may be different”

"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.
