Mayor of Moscow Visits Breakaway Abkhazia

Mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov arrived in the capital of breakaway Abkhazia, Sukhumi, on an official two-day visit on August 5.


He has already held talks with de facto Vice-President Valerie Arshba and Prime Minister Raul Khajimba.


?I am an honorary citizen of Georgia, I am an honorary citizen of Tbilisi. So why can’t I arrive in Georgia whenever I want,? Yuri Luzhkov told NTV television on August 5.


Abkhaz media reports that the issue of humanitarian aid for the population of the breakaway region was discussed during the talks.


However, the Georgian side raised issue regarding Luzhkov?s visit to Sukhumi.


Earlier today State Minister for Conflict Resolutions Goga Khaindrava said that the Georgian side was not notified regarding the Mayor?s visit  to Sukhumi.
