Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia on the situation in Syria

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia is deeply concerned with the development of the acute political crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic. The fate of our compatriots in this country is of particular concern for us. Abkhazians living in Syria are an integral part of the Abkhaz people.

Given the complexity of the events in Syria, we cannot remain indifferent to the problems which can be faced by our brothers.

In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia in collaboration with the State Committee for Repatriation and other state bodies is ready to coordinate efforts in order to facilitate the repatriation of those representatives of the Abkhaz Diaspora in Syria, who wish to return to their historical Homeland.
