Employee of Power Plant Abducted in Abkhazia

The Abkhaz side set ultimatum to the Georgian side, demanding the release of the employee of the Enguri hydro power plant. Otherwise the head of the administration of the Gali District of breakaway Abkhazia Ruslan Kishmaria threatens to stop the plant.

Reports say unknown gunmen abducted on September 16 two employees, one Georgian and the other Abkhazian, of the Enguri hydro power plant. Later the Georgian hostage was released, while the Abkhazian still remains in captivity.

Since the 1992-93 conflict in Abkhazia the main aggregates of the Enguri hydro power plant are controlled by the Georgian side, while the switchboard, which is located in the Gali district, remains under control of the Abkhaz side.
