The latest biased resolution on refugees from Abkhazia and South Ossetia, adopted on June 4, 2026, at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, represents a purely political gesture, completely detached from real concern for human rights. It is the result of coordinated pressure from the collective West, which is striving by any means necessary to artificially keep the Georgian agenda in the spotlight.

Oleg Bartsits, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia congratulated Akhsar Dzhioev, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia on the Day of Adoption of the Act of Declaration of Independence of the Republic of South Ossetia.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia has drawn attention to recent public statements by Georgia's top political leadership and clergy during the commemorative events in Tbilisi. These repeated declarations of "impending unification" and "reconciliation" couched in peaceful rhetoric, may appear to outside observers and the international community as a desire for peace. However, in Abkhazia, these veiled statements are perceived solely through the prism of real threats and the historical experience of our people.

Today we celebrate the 33-rd anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia. On May 17, 1993, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Abkhazia adopted the Resolution "On the Establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia," signed by Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Abkhazia, Vladislav Grigorievich Ardzinba.

The published 2025 report by the State Security Service of Georgia is further proof of Georgia's inability to distance itself from the ideological dogmas of the past and objectively assess the current geopolitical realities. The document is a collection of decades-old politicized clichés and propaganda tropes aimed at discrediting of the sovereignty of the Republic of Abkhazia and deliberately distorting of the true causes of ongoing regional instability. The Georgian side continues to peddle the untenable thesis of "occupation," deliberately ignoring of the fact that relations between Sukhumi and Moscow are a full-fledged interstate partnership based on the free expression of the will of the Abkhaz people and their right to self-determination.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia has taken note of the statement by Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson regarding the consequences of Georgia's accession to the European Union and shares Russia's position on the consequences of Georgia's accession to the EU.

On April 19, 2026, the Russian Federation will observe a new commemorative date for the first time: Remembrance Day for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia expresses its deepest and sincere condolences in connection with the tragic consequences of the massive floods that struck the Republic of Dagestan, Russian Federation.

We cannot ignore the video material actively circulating online by Archpriest Igor Yakimchuk, Deputy Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations, containing his speech and assessments of the situation of the Abkhaz Orthodox Church.

In connection with the recent statement by Irakli Kobakhidze, Georgian Prime Minister which stated that "on March 31, 1991, a nationwide referendum was held in which all of Georgia—including the population of Abkhazia and Samachablo—unanimously, before the eyes of the entire world, voted for the sovereign future of the country," we consider it necessary to provide a comprehensive legal and historical clarification.
