The recent tragic events which were the result of the death of the Russian citizen who was vacationing with his family in Abkhazia caused serious socio-political and informational resonance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia took this sad news with a feeling of deep sorrow. It did not leave anyone indifferent in Abkhazia.

It should be specially emphasized that the authorities of the Republic of Abkhazia have taken all the necessary measures aimed at the early detection of this crime and the detention of the perpetrators. The criminals who committed this serious crime were arrested as the result of the operational-search activities.

Against this background, it is the serious concern that these tragic events were used by various media outlets as an excuse for publishing materials containing the frankly negative and sometimes slanderous character about Abkhazia.

It is also disappointing that the recent information hysteria around Abkhazia is accompanied by the appearance of numerous custom-made materials coming mainly from non-state Russian news agencies which are most active in this direction.

In this regard, we would like to urge all representatives of the mass media to use objective data when covering the events in our republic and to abandon the practice of creating an unfavorable image of Abkhazia that contradicts the existing format of bilateral strategic Russian-Abkhaz cooperation.
