APPEAL OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC OF ADYGEI TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION B. N. YELTSIN, TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION R. I. KHASBULATOV, TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE COUNCIL OF GEORGIA E. A. SHEVARDNADZE AND TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA V. G. ARDZINBA

The agreements reached in the course of multiple meetings of the heads of the republics, regions and oblasts of the North Caucasus, as well as the Moscow Agreement of 3 September 1992 fail to be fulfilled.

The situation in the North Caucasus is still subjected to the destabilization. There are many casualties and the number of refugees from the conflict zone constantly increases. But the most alarming is the fact that the State Council of Georgia is still violating the sovereignty of Abkhazia and tries to corrupt its parliament, which is lawfully elected. Article 10 of the Final Document on Resumption of Normal Activities of the Legitimate Authorities of Abkhazia of 15 September 1992 is violated.

The Supreme Council of the Republic of Abkhazia makes another appeal to you with the request of taking the effective steps towards unconditional implementation of all articles of the Final Document of the Moscow Meeting by the parties, especially – by the Georgian party, whose actions so far fail to encourage peace and stability in the Region.

The continued Georgian-Abkhaz developments call on the leaders of the Russian Federation, Georgia, Abkhazia, also the Republics, Regions and Oblasts of the North Caucasus to hold the meeting and agree the actions for preventing the involvement of the North Caucasus nations in the conflict.

We offer to all stakeholders to set up the time and venue of the meeting.
