Staunton, July 15 – Despite declarations to the contrary, the European Union and the United States are pursuing very different approaches to Abkhazia, with the former now prepared to develop relations with that breakaway republic on the basis of the principle of "involvement without recognition” while the latter simply demands that Abkhazia submit to Georgian rule.
That difference was very much on view during the visit to Sukhumi yesterday by Peter Semneby, the special representative of the European Union to the South Caucasus, a visit whose importance for the region and more generally, Moscow analyst Sergey Markedonov says, no one should "underestimate” (www.politcom.ru/10440.html).

Maxim Gvindzhia insists Abkhazia is not occupied territory
Maxim Gvindzhia, minister of foreign affairs of Abkhazia, calls the statements by US State Secretary Hillary Clinton and representatives of Georgian authorities to the effect of occupation of Georgia by Russian troops as fantasy.
"Our American partners loose self-control, fantasize and make loud statements", says Gvindzhia in connection with the concern of Clinton about the construction in South Ossetia and Abkhazia of Russian permanent military bases.
For reference, in the course of visit to Georgia, US State Secretary Hillary Clinton has confirmed the support by the USA of independence and territorial integrity of Georgia and stressed that the USA expects from Russia fulfillment of the 2008 agreement on cease-fire and withdrawal of its troops from the Georgian territory.

During the Soviet period Abkhazia was a communist colony of a unitary Georgia. The colonial regime of the Georgian metropolis in Abkhazia was different from all other forms of totalitarian structures, since here the colonial policy was directed only against ethnic Abkhazians. In the 1930s the most educated and conscious representatives of the Abkhazian nation were executed, the Abkhazian script was replaced by the Georgian one, teaching at Abkhazian schools was changed into the Georgian language, and it was strictly forbidden to teach Abkhazian history at schools.
