STATEMENT OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF ABKHAZIA

The Parliament of Abkhazia is deeply concerned about the bloody events in Tbilisi that may be turned into the civil war.

There is historical moment when we have to show the wisdom for the sake of people’s life and solve the problems through the political means, and not through the gun,

The Supreme Council of Abkhazia expresses its hope that the Georgian people will find the courage to change the ongoing tragic developments and establish the state order, as the guarantor of protection of rights and freedoms of individuals and of peoples.
