RA MFA: Russian-Abkhaz bilateral interstate cooperation has nothing to do with the format of the EU-Georgia, and is not included in the scope of the interests of the European Union

Comment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia.

Sukhum. November 20. Apsnypress. On November 16, 2015 in Brussels, after a meeting of the Association Council EU-Georgia issued a joint statement in which the EU has once again reiterated its support for Georgia's territorial integrity, and expressed concern about the "events" in the Republic of Abkhazia and the Republic of South Ossetia related to the signing of the interstate agreements with the Russian Federation.
 
 In this regard, the Abkhaz Foreign Ministry has commented on the statement, which, according to the commentary, "is yet another proof of the unconditional support of the European Union of mythical and not existing in reality " territorial integrity " of Georgia".
 
 "We note with regret that over the years the settlement of the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict since 2008 the EU has been actively involved, the position of the EU is still biased, detached from reality, and dictated by the unbending desire to protect the interests of Georgia.
 
 Moreover, the European Union, at the insistence of the Georgian government continues the international isolation of the Abkhaz citizens, depriving them of the possibility of free movement across the EU countries, limiting in receiving qualified health care, denying access to European education, blocking the participation of representatives of Abkhazia's cultural sports, youth and social events held in the territory of the European Union.
 
 We want to draw the attention of the European Union that the Russian-Abkhazian relations are mutually beneficial and developed in accordance with international standards, and their dynamics will continue to deepen. We remind you that the bilateral Russian-Abkhaz interstate cooperation has nothing to do with the format of the EU-Georgia, and is not included in the scope of the interests of the European Union.
 
 It is surprising that at a time when the international community is seeking additional opportunities to consolidate efforts in the fight against international terrorism, some European diplomats continue to devote so much attention and support the Georgian government, indulging its provocations and insinuations ", - the comments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Abkhazia.
