Political scientist Sergei Markov believes that the “rebellion” provoked by the Abkhazian opposition forces over the issue of ratification of the investment agreement with Russia is “bad for Russia.”
president of abkhazia Aslan Bzhania accepted the demand for resignation, demanded by the opposition that organized the seizure of the presidential administration building.
“Aslan Bzhania asked the protesters to allow the vice president to temporarily carry out his duties, according to the Constitution. The protesters did not allow it and demanded the resignation of the entire presidential team. Yes… The light disappeared in a few days. “The fact that the conflict was caused by a law on the protection of Russian investments is not very good for Russia.” —Markov writes on his Telegram channel.
According to him, “the Abkhazian revolt is not against Russia, but against the Russian oligarchs.”
“Even, more precisely, against the promoters of Sochi. People fear that the new law will allow Russian oligarchs to buy up the entire coast. And the government will be bribed. And the people will be left with nothing. The last thing: the common lands will be taken from us. Such an Abkhazian revolt against oligarchs, corrupt officials and predatory real estate developers would receive support in any region of Russia. But in Russia they understand that rebellion is always bad, even if there is a reason.” – said the political scientist.
