Russie-Abkhazie:
renforcer la base juridique des relations (Medvedev) |
|
Moscou,
La Russie souhaite développer ses relations avec l'Abkhazie en
renforçant la base juridique de ces dernières, a indiqué jeudi le
président russe Dmitri Medvedev dans un message de félicitation à son
homologue abkhaz Sergueï Bagapch à l'occasion de la Journée de
l'indépendance de la république.
"Nous souhaitons promouvoir les relations
entre les Etats russe et abkhaz, renforcer leur base juridique et les
étoffer de projets de coopération mutuellement avantageux. Je suis
persuadé que cela répond pleinement aux intérêts des peuples de nos deux
pays, contribue au renforcement de la sécurité et de la stabilité dans
la région", stipule le message présidentiel, cité par le service de
presse du Kremlin.
Le 26 août 2008, après une attaque
géorgienne contre la capitale sud-ossète Tskhinvali, la Russie a reconnu
l'indépendance de l'Ossétie du Sud et de l'Abkhazie. L'exemple de Moscou
a été imité par le Nicaragua, le Venezuela et le petit Etat insulaire de
Nauru, dans le Pacifique.

L'APCE devrait
renoncer à se réunir en Géorgie (Moscou) |
|
Moscou,
En raison de la politique de Tbilissi en matière de visas, l'Assemblée
parlementaire du Conseil de l'Europe (APCE) devrait renoncer à se réunir
sur le territoire géorgien, a annoncé jeudi aux journalistes le chef de
la délégation russe auprès de l'institution Konstantin Kossatchev.
"Personnellement, je considère que
l'Assemblée aurait dû renoncer à tenir toute manifestation du Conseil de
l'Europe en Géorgie, tant que la politique des visas menée par cette
dernière n'est pas revue", a indiqué le responsable aux journalistes.
La réunion de la Commission des questions
juridiques et des droits de l'homme de l'APCE devait se tenir les 16 et
17 septembre dernier en Géorgie. Toutefois, la partie géorgienne a
refusé le 10 septembre de délivrer un visa d'entrée au député russe
Sergueï Markov, qui devait assister à la réunion, ce dernier ayant
visité les "territoires occupés géorgiens" (Abkhazie et Ossétie du Sud,
ndlr) sans autorisation de Tbilissi. La Russie a donc décidé de
boycotter l'événement.
Selon M. Kossatchev cet incident a
provoqué un tollé au sein de l'Assemblée.
"Une analyse juridique des circonstances
de cette affaire est en cours. D'après les informations dont je dispose,
il est peu probable que la position des autorités géorgiennes soit
soutenue par l'Assemblée", a ajouté le délégué russe.
"Nous attendons des décisions responsables
et équilibrées", a conclu M.Kossatchev.
La Russie a reconnu l'indépendance des
anciennes autonomies géorgiennes, l'Abkhazie et l'Ossétie du Sud, après
l'agression de Tbilissi contre l'Ossétie du Sud en août 2008. Affirmant
avoir été "victime d'une provocation russe", la Géorgie a rompu les
relations diplomatiques avec Moscou et décrété les républiques "territoires
occupés".

Russia wants to
improve legal base of relations with Abkhazia |
|
Moscow,
Russia hopes to strengthen the legal basis of its relations with
Abkhazia, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.
"We expect the further development of
Russian-Abkhaz relations and the improvement of the legal basis of ties,"
Medvedev said in a congratulatory message to Abkhaz President Sergey
Bagapsh on the republic's Independence Day.
"I am sure that this completely
corresponds to the interests of the Russian and Abkhaz people - it
boosts stability and security in the region," the Russian president
added.
"This holiday symbolizes the longstanding
desire of the Abkhaz people to determine their lives for themselves and
to live in peace with all their neighbors," Medvedev added.
The Russian president also pledged to
render aid to Abkhazia.
Russia recognized Abkhazia and nearby
South Ossetia as independent states two weeks after a five-day war with
Georgia in August 2008, which began when Georgian forces attacked South
Ossetia in an attempt to bring it back under central control.
Since then, Russia has deployed thousands
of troops and border guards to the two regions, which Georgia considers
part of its sovereign territory.

Abkhazia: Bagapsh
to Consider Return of Real Estate to Russians |
|
Sukhum,
President Bagapsh is considering the return of properties to Russians
who previously fled Abkhazia, promising to decide on a case-by-case
basis.
Abkhazia will consider individually cases
of returning real estate property to Russians, who had to leave the
country earlier and who are returning to live in the republic,
Abkhazia’s President Sergei Bagapsh said on Monday commenting on the
news published in Russia’s media.
“No rights will be infringed,” he promised.
“A different approach may be used for a case where, for example, an
individual left Abkhazia in 1992 and appears all of a sudden in 2010,
which is 18 years later.”
“In such a case, the former house may not
exist any longer, and a new building may occupy the slot, that is why
each case should be considered individually,” he explained.
Bagapsh takes part in Tskhinval’s
celebrations of the 20th anniversary of South Ossetia’s independence.

Vyachslave
Chirikba: “Information in the press that Abkhazia is ready to deploy a
new UN Mission or UN observers is far from the current political reality” |
|
Sukhum, Information in the press
that Abkhazia is ready to deploy a new UN Mission or UN observers is far
from the current political reality and reflects only theoretically
acceptable possibilities or variants, the head of Abkhaz delegation at
the Geneva discussions Vyacheslav Chirikba declared.
As is well known, the United Nations
Mission finished its work in Abkhazia in 2009 in connection with the
termination of its mandate. After that Abkhazia never carried on any
concrete negotiations with anybody on a new UN Mission.
“Abkhazia maintains close contacts with
the United Nations, in particular in the format of Geneva discussions.
UN high ranking officials pay visits to Abkhazia. UN representatives
participate in regular five-sided Gal meetings within the framework of
the joint mechanism on incident prevention and response”, Chirikba said.
He expressed hope that “in the future
Abkhazia will become a member of this global international organization
and then the presence of a full-fledged UN representative office here
will be quite natural”. But it is too early to speak about it so far,
the head of Abkhaz delegation at the Geneva discussions believes.

Abkhazia might
agree to UN Observers deployment in its territory |
|
Sukhum, The Abkhaz authorities
intend to propose a new draft agreement on the non-use of force at the
next round of Geneva discussions, the President's envoy to the
international discussions in Geneva Vyacheslav Chirikba declared Tuesday.
He said that “in all there are four drafts - Russian, Abkhaz, South
Ossetian and Georgian”. The Abkhaz variant of the agreement, as he said,
“consists of two basic statutes - declaration on the non-use of force,
and guarantees of maintaining a peacful situation in the region”.
Chirikba does not rule out that “as one of
the elements of the agreement observance mechanism the issue of
deploying observers on either side of the border between Abkhazia and
Georgia could be considered”.
“Those will be not peacekeeping forces.
Those might be observer posts- those of the United Nations on our side,
the European Union ones - on the Georgian side that would watch the
situation and report, if there was any escalation of tension. At least,
they should have a ground and they could have the possibility to report
on these violations”, Chirikba said.
“All the details are still in the process
of discussion, and the Abkhaz party is ready to consider alternative
variants”, he declared.
Sukhum is not against “a small UN Mission”
in the territory of Abkhazia that would mediate between Sukhum and
Tbilisi, as well as have contacts with the Russian side. These functions
performance by European observers is considered impossible by Sukhum, as
the European Union took a hard line regarding the recognition of
Abkhazia's independence.
