SUKHUMI. May 10 (Interfax) - The status of Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia as an independent state "is not subject to any negotiations," Abkhaz President Sergei Bagapsh said on Tuesday.
Bagapsh was commenting on a statement on Tuesday in which U.S. President George W. Bush expressed support for an initiative by Georgia to grant autonomy to Abkhazia and another Georgian separatist region, South Ossetia.
"We respect the opinion of the U.S. president, who has hailed the desire of the Georgian side to grant autonomy to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but I'd like to remind you that the Abkhaz people have already opted for an independent state at a referendum, and this choice should be respected," Bagapsh told Interfax. http://www.interfax.ru/e/B/politics/28.html?id_issue=11281547
