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.
Editor of 'Chegemskaya Pravda', Inal Khashig, spoke with Levan Lagulaa, editor-in-chief of 'Apsny Khabar', about the prospects of the new-old government.
Irakli Kobakhidze has once again raised the issue of Georgia's territorial integrity, stating that "with a consistent policy and patience, any goal can be achieved".
The European Court of Human Rights has concluded its examination of six lawsuits regarding property rights violations in Abkhazia, holding Russia fully responsible in all cases.
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.
