Details

A shooting took place in the center of Sukhumi near the parliament building of occupied Abkhazia , as a result of which MP Vakhtang Golandzia died of his injuries. His colleague Kan Kvartsia was wounded in the arm. Doctors are trying to provide him with the necessary assistance.

The circumstances of the incident remain unclear, but the Abkhazian Interior Ministry has already launched an investigation.

Recall

The parliament of occupied Abkhazia did not ratify the investment agreement with Russia due to protests of the population. This led to a weakening of Russian influence in the region. Earlier, the president of the separatist Georgian region of Abkhazia, Aslan Bzhania, submitted his resignation.
