Abkhazia stops all contacts with Georgia
President of Abkhazia Sergey Bagapsh has announced that after the recent terror acts in the territory of his Republic, Abkhazia suspends all contacts with Georgia.
"Abkhazia stops all contacts with Georgia because of Tbilisi's policy of state terrorism," Mr Bagapsh said after the sitting that he held in the Galskiy District. "The terror act in Gagry, Sukhumi and Gal are the links of the same chain, and we can't disregard it," he emphasized.
Sergey Bagapsh has also informed that a decision was made "to strengthen the Abkhazian-Georgian border." "Special measures will also be undertaken in the territory of the Galskiy District," the President of the non-recognized republic told the "Interfax".
