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

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
