Abkhaz Political Movement Opposes Railway Project

Abkhaz public-political movement Aidgilara (Unity) called on President of breakaway Abkhazia Sergey Bagapsh to disavow a protocol on setting up of the international consortium on Abkhaz railway rehabilitation, Apsnypress news agency reported on July 7.

The protocol was signed by the Russian, Georgian, Abkhaz and Armenian sides in Moscow this May to deal with a multi-million project to rehabilitate the Abkhaz section of the Russian-Georgian railway.
 
On June 30 the Forum of Abkhaz People?s Unity, which includes three opposition parties and nine public movements, also warned that existing agreements on the railway project can undermine ?the Abkhaz sovereignty.?

However, the Abkhaz government denounced the opposition?s allegations as groundless and said that talks over the consortium are of ?consultative nature? and no legally binding agreements have been signed yet.
