The President of Georgia addressed Abkhazian and Ossetian population with peace initiative 4/29/2008

10 Jan 2024

I know that very many residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as many others in the rest of Georgia have the same problem, the poverty, the level of unemployment is very high - have not even small incomes and find it extremely difficult to find the means to keep the family. [...] I am sure that everybody in Georgia, and first of all you, our Abkhazian and Ossetian brothers, the populations of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali Region, want to live in much better conditions than today. [...] Our action plan is not the war, but creation of new jobs; not the confrontation, but taking care of our elderly people and children, increasing pensions, construction of better schools and hospitals, development of tourism and agriculture, increasing people's incomes, creation of appropriate opportunities for successful life. [...] All of them repeat one and the same that the world will never recognize the state creations against the will of the Georgian people. [...] We should stand together and say that we are not enemies, we have one common enemy and this is enmity in itself - enmity, which is not coming from our roots, it was imposed on us and we have never chosen it.
