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.
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.
