Abkhazia calls on international community to avouch independence of unrecognized republics

PanARMENIAN.Net - It would be ideal if the international community agnized independence of self-proclaimed republic on the territory of the former USSR, said Nugzar Ashuba, chairman of the Abkhazian National Assembly.



Ashuba reminded that Abkhazia more than Kosovo deserves independence, since the Kosovo issue under the UN consideration is not identical to the situation.



South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria are not independent states and suffer from economic sanctions and embargo imposed on them. If recognized by the international community, the pressure will alleviate, according to him.



When asked about Abkhazia joining Russia, Ashuba said, "To become a part of a state it's necessary to become a subject of international law." "I am confident of Abkhazia's capability to assert its rights," he added, Interfax reports.
