Riots broke out in Abkhazia, where the opposition opposed the conclusion of an investment agreement with Russia.

In Sukhum, on the afternoon of November 11, clashes broke out near the building of the People's Assembly. In the evening, at the entrance to Sukhum, according to opposition publications, the State Security Service detained opposition representatives Omar Smyr, Garry Kokay, Almaskhan Ardzinba, Ramaz Dzhopua and Aslan Bagatelia.

A crowd gathered at the building of the State Security Service, which broke the gate. Employees of the State Security Service are guarding the gate. Relatives of the detainees, politicians and the public remain at this place now.

There are no statements from the leaders of opposition associations yet. There is no official information about the detainees yet either.

Pro-government publics, in turn, report that the oppositionists were preparing an attempted coup.

"On Friday, on the day of consideration of the ratification of the investment agreement, provocateurs were preparing clashes with law enforcement officers and an attempt to storm the parliament building," Sovmin claims, in particular.

EADaily reported that the day before, President Aslan Bzhania called task No. 1 for the Ministry of Internal Affairs "the fight against political extremism."
