The government of the Republic of Abkhazia released a statement on 19 July responding to criticisms enumerated in an appeal to President Sergei Bagapsh and parliament speaker Nugzar Ashuba circulated the previous day by the opposition Forum for National Unity, apsny.ru reported.
The forum, which was established five months ago protested the government´s privatization plans, which it fears extend to the privatization of land, and expressed concern at what it termed the spontaneous return to Abkhazia of Georgians who fled during the 1992-93 war.
The government response said such unfounded allegations could give rise to ´´political speculation,´´ and therefore President Bagapsh has asked police to question Forum members in order to establish whether they are true.
The government response reaffirmed the Abkhaz leadership´s readinesss for ´´constructive dialogue´´ with the opposition.
On 20 July, apsny.ru posted an article from the daily ´´Abkhaziya´´summarizing the findings of a poll conducted by the paper ´´Chegemskaya pravda.´´
According to that poll, Bagapsh remains the most popular politician in Abkhazia, followed by Prime Minister Aleksandr Ankvab.
Former President Vladislav Ardzinba is in fourth place, while Bagapsh´s defeated rival in the January presidential poll, Raul Khadjimba, is in 11th place.
