Georgia denies existence of Adzharian scenario for Abkhazia
Speaking at a news conference at the Itar-Tass agency, Zurabishvili
expressed doubts that “somebody in Abkhazia was planning to blow up
bridges.”
The approach to the so-called “frozen conflicts” — both in Abkhazia
and Nagorny Karabakh — is important within the context of the
Abkhazian issue, she said.
There is an understanding in Georgia that frozen conflicts impede the
development of democracy,” the foreign minister said.
It is up to all Caucasian peoples to decide whether their region will
lag behind or become a place in the world where everybody would like
to live, Zurabishvili underlined.
