MOSCOW — Information that the Abkhaz public is considering the possibility of joining Georgia is "nothing but bluff," President of the breakaway republic Sergey Bagapsh reported at a press conference. If Georgia has such convictions, Abkhaz-Georgian negotiations may not begin at all, Bagapsh added. He did not rule out that such propaganda was held in order to convince the world community of the fact that "the Abkhaz has become more compliant."
Abkhazia is prepared to discuss only economic, energy, railway transportation and refugee problems with Georgia. The Abkhaz political status is not subject to discussion, Bagapsh underlined. /RosBusinessConsulting/
