Sergei Bagapsh has ordered the demolition of all inappropriate houses within a month
President of Abkhazia Sergei Bagapsh has made a historic decision, ordering all inappropriate houses in Abkhazia to be demolished. In a month. Then the President explained, that what he means is the houses of Georgian people. Sergei Bagapsh declared that, while Abkhazians had improved their dwelling places, the Georgians hadn't.
This decision is remarkable, as the war in Abkhazia ended in 1993 and these five thousand Georgian houses were burned deliberately by the Abkhazians so that their owners could not come back.
As Shota Malashkhia, the Head of the Parliamentary Commission for reocupation and restoration of the territorial unity of Georgia said, Georgia will raise this question with all possible international organisations. "Before, the Abkhazians didn't dare to do this. All this shows is that they are again trying to aggravate the situation," he said.
