GEORGIAN PRESIDENT AFFIRMS THAT ABKHAZIA REMAINS \'PRIORITY\'
By empty (9/11/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Meeting on 11 September in Tbilisi with members of the Tbilisi-based Abkhaz parliament in exile, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili stressed that restoring Georgian hegemony over the breakaway Republic of Abkhazia remains a priority for him. Saakashvili stressed that the Georgian Army is being strengthened to deter foreign aggression, rather than in preparation for a military reconquest of Abkhazia. But at the same time, he said that \"we must prevent illegal actions\" in Abkhazia, including the 3 October presidential ballot.Visit also
