MOSCOW -- The leader of Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia, Sergei
Bagapsh, said in Moscow that Russian citizens would soon be eligible to
buy property in Abkhazia, RFE/RL's Echo of the Caucasus reports.
Bagapsh,
who was reelected in December to a second term as president of the
breakaway region in Georgia, said Abkhaz officials are discussing a new
law that would allow Russian citizens to buy only newly built houses.
He
said it is not possible to buy actual plots of land in Abkhazia, even
for Abkhaz citizens, and that there should not be any fear that
Russians would buy up the republic.
But the Russian daily
"Kommersant" quoted Abkhaz Economy Minister Kristina Ozgan as saying
the new law will enable Russians to buy property and land on the same
conditions as citizens of Abkhazia.
