SEPARATISTS BARGAIN WITH ARMENIA
The Messenger, Georgia
July 15 2014
By Messenger Staff Tuesday, July 15 The Armenian community in Abkhazia
wants to activate the issue of reconstructing the Abkhazian segment
of Georgian railways in the separatist controlled territory. They
highlight that the entry of Armenia into the Eurasian Union has
brought the issue on the agenda.
The side claims that the route will be efficient through connecting
Russia to Armenia, for export, import and so on. The parliament of the
de-facto independent state of Abkhazia has raised the issue recently,
stressing that it should be discussed only in the case of Armenia
recognizing Abkhazian independence. The Abkhaz MPs protested the term
of an Abkhaz-Georgian railway segment. According to them, Abkhazia is
a different state, and therefore all three sides, including Georgia,
need to be at the table to negotiate such a deal.
