Excellency,
It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to convey to Your Excellency, on behalf of the Federation of Caucasian Associations in Turkey, our warmest congratulations upon the recognition of the independence of the Republic of Abkhazia by the Republic of Vanuatu.
We realize that this was a difficult decision and we truly admire your bravery and courage in taking such a historical decision that further strengthened the independence of Abkhazia. We are confident that your decision will only foster the promotion of Vanuatu as a freedom-loving country, not only in Abkhazia, but also in Turkey, where 6 million strong Abkhazian-Adygean diaspora live, and all around the world.
