SUKHUMI. Sept 30 (Interfax-AVN) - Dynamic economic growth is the key task facing Abkhazia, said Abkhaz President Sergei Bagapsh.
On September 30 the multicultural people of Abkhazia celebrate not only Victory Day, but also the second historical date, that is the recognition of Abkhazia by Russia, Bagapsh told journalists after a military parade in Sukhumi on Tuesday.
."After 100 years of struggling for freedom, hardships and de-facto independence and 15 years of isolation from the outside world, having withstood Georgia's political pressure and its systemic provocations, the Abkhaz state has become legally recognized, and that is where a new era begins in the history of Abkhazia," he said.
"Preserving peace and stability in the region and dynamic economic growth" are the key tasks facing the republic, he said.
"It is quite feasible to bring these tasks into reality, given the agreement on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance signed with Russia," he said.
