Abkhazian Hostage Released

Abkhaz employee of the Enguri hydro power plant, who was abducted on September 16 by unknown gunmen, was released today. 

On September 17 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 threatened to stop the plant.

The Abkhaz side accused Georgian guerrillas of abducting Abkhaz employee, while the Georgian side claimed it was a provocation masterminded by the Abkhaz side.
