President of the Republic of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili, speaking at
the 64th session of the UN General Assembly yesterday, drew parallels
between the Berlin Wall and Georgia’s lost territories, promising that
Abkhazia will be returned to Georgia.
`Europe is today divided by a new wall, built by an outside force ‘ a
wall that runs through the middle of Georgia. A wall that cuts off one
fifth of our territory ‘ a wall that once again divides Europe from
itself, creating new lines of repression and fear: artificial dividing
lines inside the internationally recognized borders of a European
nation’ said Saakashvili in his speech.
"It will take time, but Abkhazia will once again be what it was ‘ the
most wonderful part of Georgia," he stated.
After the Russo-Georgian war, both Abkhazia and South Ossetia
announced their secession from Georgia. Only Russia, Venezuela and
Nicaragua have since recognized their independence.
