Abkhazia: Abkhaz Leader Prepared to Meet with Georgian President
The President of Abkhazia, Sergei Bagapsh, has said he is ready to meet with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili
The President of the self-proclaimed republic of Abkhazia,
Sergei Bagapsh, has said he is ready to meet with Georgian President Mikheil
Saakashvili but believes this meeting should be prepared by diplomats.
"Such a meeting should be prepared," Bagapsh said at a press conference while visiting the Russian State Duma on Friday.
The normalization of relations between Sukhumi and Tbilisi should start with the resolution of economic problems, which concern not only Abkhazia but also Georgia, Russia, and the South Caucasus as a whole, Bagapsh said.
The Abkhaz leader suggested that contacts with Georgia could
be established by discussing the reopening the railway line from Russia through
Abkhazia and Georgia to Armenia.
