Abkhazia does not recognize the legitimacy of municipal elections held by the Georgian authorities in upper Kodori Gorge, Abkhaz leader Sergey Bagapsh told Interfax on October 6.
?Upper Kodori Gorge always was, is and will be a part of Abkhazia, so any elections held there by the Georgian authorities cannot be legitimate,? Bagapsh said.
He also called on President Saakashvili to implement the existing agreements, ?which do not envisage the presence of Georgian troops in upper Kodori Gorge.?
Residents of upper Kodori Gorge elected a local council Sakrebulo in the municipal elections, which were held throughout Georgia on October 5.
