“Grief came to thousands of families. The price of peace is the first lesson. The second lesson is how we can provide this world. We have an important unresolved issue with Georgia. Against the background of the events in Karabakh, it is obvious that in the name of ensuring the interests of Abkhazia, it is important to strengthen allied relations with the Russian Federation, " Bzhania said.

He also drew attention to the fact that the world has not become more humane, the number of military conflicts is growing, the nature of war is changing. The technical equipment of the armed forces is gaining importance.

"Some analogies can be drawn between Azerbaijan's relations with Karabakh and Georgia with us. And against this background, of course, it is obvious that in the name of ensuring the interests of the people of Abkhazia, it is very important to strengthen allied relations with the Russian Federation. The world has not become more humane and kinder. By the way, we discussed the following question: the war of 2008 differs significantly from the war of 2020, including in technical terms. At what level of development are we and our armed forces today? ... You can conjecture everything yourself. Therefore, our capabilities should be maximized, and our interaction with the Russian Federation should be filled as much as possible if we want to progress, if we want to develop our country, ” said President Aslan Bzhania.
