You are way way off.

Georgians are the majority, so the so called Abkhazian Muslims should resettle - maybe somewhere in Saudi Arabia. Or how about in Poland...

The Abkhazian Muslims did resettle, about 120 years ago when Abkhazia became a part of the Russian empire. They retreated into Turkey with their islamic overlords. The majority of the population of Abkhazia is Abkhazian Orthodox, just like that of S.Ossessia is Ossessian Orthodox, even though certain agendad peoples would and have tried to portray them also as muslims.

The point is this, these entities, like Lukasz are supporting the Stalinist policies of the 1920s, when Stalin forcefully annexed Abkhazia to Georgia and began a forced colonization of the area that turned the majority Abkhaz into a minority in their own homeland. The Georgians then tried to wipe them out when the Abkhaz started aggitating for autonomy in 1992, but instead the Georgians lost and Abkhazia instead got independence.

The only reason these entities are supporting Stalin and genocide is because they hate Russians even more and Russians backed up the Abkhaz.

The Abkhazian refugees Lukasz is referring to are not muslims, but ethnic Georgian Orthodox Christians who were expelled by the Abkhazians in allegiance with the Chechens. Basayev himself led a battalion against Georgia on Abkhazia's behalf. The descendants of the muslims expelled to Turkey in the late 1800's support the Abkhazians against the Christian nation of Georgia.

Abkhazia needs Muslim support to resist pressure for concessions

Is there a place for Islam in Mikhael Saakashvili’s Christian Georgia?
