The parliament of Abkhazia develops a strategy of solving of the demographic problems of the unrecognized republic. With that purpose the legislators initiated consultations, which goal should be to formulate some uniform conceptual approaches to solving of the demographic problems.

"Solving of the demographic problems is one of the serious problems our state now faces. And in our hands there should be powerful tools for solving of this problem", - Soner Gogua declared.
Members of the parliament discuss a number of the offers about creation of institutes for solving of the demographic problems. In particular, the decision on creation of the non-state Demography Fund which should accumulate financial means for deepening of repatriation process was adopted.
"On the one hand we realize the importance of solving of the demographic problems. On the other hand, at the state level there is no structure which would deal with this problem.
