Would you accept a plan to partition Abkhazia into zones of influence?
Monday, June 30
“No, never. Abkhazia is part of Georgia. I personally will never accept Russia having a ‘zone of influence’ there—it also means refugees will not be able to return.”
Niko, designer, 32
“It won’t change anything. Russia does what it wants there, and this would just legalize it. Abkhazia is already lost.”
Giorgi, cook, 56
“If it is the last option, I’d accept it. It’s better than starting another war in Abkhazia.”
Tako, student, 21
“I think this would be a good plan for us, but I also think [the report of the plan] is a fabrication. Those journalists just make these things up themselves. But in general, I don’t think the Russians would accept it.”
Sandro, bookmaker, 43
“I’ll never accept giving away the best part of Abkhazia to people who were not historically inhabitants of that land. It’s ours. All of it.”
Dato, manager, 31
“I think it’s a good plan: there is no other choice. We should build on that plan and return Abkhazia little by little.”
Natia, housewife, 28
“I would take anything over war.”
Nia, teacher, 55
“Yes, it would be a way out of the dead end we’ve reached. I would accept it.”
Nato, cashier, 35
“I don’t know. It doesn’t sound too bad.”
