Turkish Ambassador to Georgia visits Abkhazia - June 5, 2006 - "I think it is important to undertake some concrete steps. We are ready to discuss the issue of opening a direct marine link between Turkey and Abkhazia and not only a passenger one," Tezgor said. The ambassador also mentioned that Turkey has good relationships with Russia in the economic sphere saying "Turkey and Russia are interested in stability in the Caucasus. More than seven million Caucasians reside in Turkey. Knowing about the Abkhazian demography we would like to facilitate the improvement of the situation. We want to strengthen our contacts with you and your brothers in Turkey. We hope that the Abkhaz diaspora in Turkey will soon be able to invest more freely in Abkhazia."

Why do the Turks support Akhazian separatism? Why it's because they hope for a "right of return" for the descendants of muslims which fled Abkhazia in the late 1800's. It's the same reason the Chechen terrorists supported the Abkhazians against Georgia, including even the baby-killer of Beslan, Basayev himself. Russia stands with the muslim Turks against Christian Georgia in Abkhazia
