The fact that Russia was working on new document concerning Abkhazia was known long ago. Everyone knew also that Moscow was going to sign this document till the end of the year. Experts doubt that the events that happened in May-June and that provoked resign of Aleksandre Abkvab was connected exactly to this document - they say that former President of Abkhazia didn't want to sign the agreement, writes in an article published in "Zerkalo Nedeli" Aleksei Koval, reports GHN.
The reaction of Abkhaz politicians show that in undeclared republic not everyone agrees the screenplay according to which Abkhazia looses the part of powers and its army will be lost if armed forces of Russia. Sukhumi is cautious about liberalization of property market too. Shortly Abkhazians are not in a hurry to agree with the proposal of Russia.
The project of the agreement provoked negative reaction of Georgia: Tbilisi considers that Russia decided to punish Georgia for the signing of Association Agreement and for the integration with NATO: after Wales Summit Georgians are waiting opening of training base of NATO and logistics center of Georgia.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia considers that signing of such kind of agreement will create danger for the stability of Caucasus and will break down the process of normalization of relations between Russia and Georgia. With the opinion of Georgian diplomats the agreement between Russia and Abkhazia is the attempt to realize "Crimea screenplay" in Abkhazia, the main aim of which is final annexation of occupied territories. Georgia maintains right to make strict reaction of the steps of Moscow however considers that it would be better to impose new international sanctions towards northern neighbor.
