“The main thing now is to stabilize the situation in the republic and hold the election of the head of state in March this year in a calm atmosphere,” Bganba Interfax quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the President of Abkhazia Raul Khadjimba decided to resign.

On Sunday, January 12, opposition leader Aslan Bzhaniya arrived at the Khajimba’s residence for talks and conveyed to the head of Abkhazia the opposition’s demand for his resignation.
