Today, the Abkhaz public organization "Aruaa" has called on the people, outraged by the trip of Abkhaz officials to Georgia, to gather at Freedom Square in Sukhumi. About 200 people gathered at the square, and they went to the building of the Abkhaz parliament to discuss with MPs the visit of Benur Kviraya, the aide to the President of Abkhazia, to Georgia.
The "Abkhaz National Movement" has disseminated the statement about the Benur Kviraya's trip to Abkhazia.
