The so-called budget of occupied Abkhazia amounts to USD 200 million, their budget is fully subsidized, and I want to say that this is a missed opportunity for our Abkhazian and Ossetian sisters and brothers. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia, while presenting the 2022 report.

“Our main priority is the continuation of our peaceful policy towards the occupied regions, the effective implementation of our policy of reconciliation and engagement. Our goal is to improve the social and economic conditions of conflict-affected populations, reconcile artificially divided societies by promoting cooperation and trust-building based on common interests.

We help our Abkhaz and Ossetian fellow citizens a lot. We don’t talk about it publicly, it’s our deliberate policy, we don’t want to advertise it, but I want to tell you that a lot of people use the services we offer.

For example, 230 students were enrolled in 2021, more than 1,300 people benefited from health services. These benefits will continue in the future.

Our common task should be to unite our country, the most important task and idea around which our nation should be united is to unite Georgia. Unfortunately, our opponents talk about everything, except the issues important to the country and important to our people.

If I’m not mistaken, the so-called budget of occupied Abkhazia amounts to USD 200 million, their budget is fully subsidized, and I want to say that this is a missed opportunity for our Abkhazian and Ossetian sisters and brothers.

In case of unification of our country, we can invest about 10 billion in Abkhazia and Samachablo in the first 3 years. It can be organized very easily, we have worked on it, we had a discussion about it at the Economic Council. Abkhazia can become second Monaco and this is not an exaggeration.

Abkhazia has a huge potential to become second Monaco and Sokhumi - the second Monte Carlo. Therefore, of course, our policy is peaceful, we want to heal the wounds of so many wars. Our policy will not be revised, we only want to peacefully end and reconcile the mentioned conflict, this terrible tragedy, so that we all live together in a united, strong, European Georgia”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
