According to Leuan Lagulaa, editor-in-chief of the leading Abkhazian media outlet APSNYKHABAR, the parliament’s decision is not an anti-Russian act but a response to Bzhania’s policies.
Following the early resignation of a third consecutive president, Abkhazia is once again seeking a way out of the political impasse that the republic repeatedly finds itself in.
In Abkhazia, presidential elections are coming up, and the new leader will face the issue of the Russian-Abkhaz investment agreement, the same one that led to Bzhania's downfall.
"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.
