Gagulia:
Abkhazia works accommodating refugees
06.02.2003
Abkhaz Prime Minister
Gennady Gagulia stated on Wednesday that: Some 60,000 Georgian refugees
have returned to the Gal region of Abkhazia. "In spite of economic
problems, The Administration of Abkhazia is working on accommodating the
refugees that have returned to the Gal region. Right now it is necessary
to register those who have returned, and Georgia should propose economic
measures to help them." "Unfortunately, the international community
on the territory of Georgia is using lists which far exceed the actual
numbers of Georgian refugees in Abkhazia. It would be expedient to send
humanitarian aid to the Gal region, too," Gagulia stated. Abkhaz
Prime Minister Gennady Gagulia further stated that "it is necessary
to consider the refugee issue in a much broader sense." "We
favor the creation of economic conditions to enable Greeks, Armenians,
Russians and Jews who left the republic during the war in 1992 to return
to Abkhazia," stated Gagulia.
