Shevardnadze Supports Abkhaz Government-in-Exile

(Tbilisi, September 2, 2003, Civil Georgia) – President Shevardnadze expressed support for the Tbilisi-based Abkhaz government-in-exile and called on the members of the Abkhaz War Veterans to cease their hunger strike.

Several members of the Abkhaz War Veterans have been on a hunger strike since August 21. They are demanding the resignation of Tamaz Nadareishvili, head of the Abkhaz government-in-exile.

“The hunger strike and rallies are not an appropriate form of protest. I don’t have anything against Nadareishvili,” President Shevardnadze said in a live broad!
cast on the State TV channel on September 1.
