Moscow will not make contact with the people who seized power in Abkhazia — expert

Moscow will not be deceived by the statements of the Abkhaz opposition that their protest is not directed against Russia, but against President Aslan Bzhania, political analyst Yevgeny Krutikov believes.

"This will not deceive anyone in Moscow. In fact, a group consisting of diverse forces has disrupted the agreement with Russia. Earlier, Sergey Lavrov stressed that "obligations must be fulfilled." That is, they are not negotiable. They are going against agreements with Russia," Krutikov said.

In his opinion, Moscow "will not make contact with any movement or individuals who seized power through Maidan or street storming."

"This is not Kiev. We don't need such associations. No one will have anything to do with the organizers of the riots and Maidan," the political scientist believes.

On the morning of November 15, the opposition demanded to vote against the ratification of the investment agreement with Russia, but now the protesters have occupied the presidential administration and are already demanding the resignation of Bzhania. As Krutikov noted, in the morning there was some form of compromise or negotiation, and "now we are talking only about the form in which Moscow's response will follow."

"Thirty years of living on everything Russian and at the expense of Russian money, and here again — here the most loyal person will doubt the need to ride this "mentality,"" Krutikov said.

He does not see a replacement for the president yet.

"Bzhania is a weak leader. "Playing Yanukovych" is not the right strategy. And where are the strong leaders? Where, by the way, is Ahra (Ahra Avidzba is the commander of the Pyatnashka brigade. — EADaily)?" — said Krutikov.

In his opinion, part of the blame for what is happening "really lies with Moscow, because for 30 years no one has ever demanded reciprocal obligations, and they got used to this freebie." In addition, the curatorial system, according to Krutikov, "was initially flawed, and a lot of questions have accumulated for individuals."

"At least one of the valiant Protestants should realize that tomorrow will come. It's just fun today. But in the morning you will have to pay for light, for any manufactured goods, bread, pay salaries, set up communication — and in general, somehow cope with life. Who will do it and with whom? And so protest if you are so sovereign," the political scientist noted.
