GEORGIA COMMEMORATES FALL OF SUKHUMI
By empty (9/27/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Georgian government and the Tbilisi-based Abkhaz government in exile commemorated on 27 September the fall of the Abkhaz capital in 1993, which effectively ended the 14-month war and triggered the flight from Abkhaz territory of the region\'s ethnic Georgian population. Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said at a ceremony in Tbilisi to honor the Georgians killed in the fighting that the war was a defeat for both Georgians and Abkhaz. Parliamentary speaker Burdjanadze vowed that Georgia will \"soon\" restore its control over the breakaway republic by peaceful means.Visit also
