RESOLUTION OF THE PEOPLE'S ASSEMBLY PARLIAMENT
OF THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA On condemnation of facts of high treason and
collaboration with the occupational authorities during the Georgian-Abkhazian
war of 1992-1993.
The war imposed by the Georgian
Government upon the sovereign state of Abkhazia came as a severe ordeal for the
people of Abkhazia, especially for the Abkhazians, i.e. for those who bear
historical responsibility for the fate of this country. In the face of the
danger real patriots of Abkhazia stood next to the Abkhazians in defense of
their Motherland. The war did not, and could not,
bring the desired victory to
In this unequal struggle the
Abkhazians were supported by their kin people from the North Caucasus, the
South of Russia, by representatives of many countries abroad, by the Abkhazian
Diaspora from
Certain citizens of Abkhazia,
however, failed to join their people at that crucial moment. These people
proved to be indifferent to their nation's historical, spiritual and moral
values and its political interests. At the time when the whole people of
Abkhazia stood up in defense of their Motherland, some of those immoral people
fled the Republic and took the position of outside observers. Some of those who
by various reasons remained on the territory of Abkhazia occupied by the enemy,
readily agreed to work in the occupational government's bodies, and a part of
them, seeking closer collaboration and trying to win more confidence from the
occupational regime, even voluntarily changed their nationality. L. M. Marshania
was appointed the Vice-Premier of the puppet government, S. K. Ketsba became
the Minister of Culture, A. Z. Kobakhia became the Minister of Forestry and R.
R. Eshba became the Minister of Industry. Among the civilian population there
were individuals who did not believe in the possibility of the Abkhazian
victory over the enemy that had overwhelming preponderance, and who, together
with the State Council's thugs, marauded and perpetrated crimes and atrocities
against the civilians on the basis of their ethnicity.
The initiators, leaders and members
of the so-called "Committee of the Salvation of Abkhazia" deserve
special condemnation, as in the first days of the war they called the policy
pursued by the legal leadership of Abkhazia adventurous. It is no secret that
this notorious committee was not a neutral charitable organization,
that it was set up at the initiative of
The civilian consciousness of the
elected representatives of the people demands the condemnation of those who put
their personal interests above the interests of their own people, who committed
high treason and joined those who infringed on the rights and freedoms of the
Abkhazians and of the whole people of Abkhazia.
Being aware of its responsibility
for the fate of the people of Abkhazia and realizing its Constitutional
responsibilities, the People's Assembly of the
