Georgians treat us very well. They think highly of our people. They have a rather normal attitude to the leadership of [our] country [despite] being brainwashed [by the West] that we are their opponents, rivals and almost enemies,&#8221; \u0141uka\u0161enka noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have never been enemies of the Georgian people,\u201d he stressed. &#8220;We want Ossetians and Abkhazians to leave peacefully with Georgians . . . but these are their affairs. We do not interfere there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2008, Russia was involved in an armed conflict with Georgia and supported separatist movements in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Belarus has not officially recognized Abkhazia\u2019s independence, yet in September 2022 \u0141uka\u0161enka visited it without notifying Georgian authorities. He met with Abkhazia\u2019s separatist ruler Aslan Bzhania who visited Minsk a few months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tbilisi criticized the Belarusian ruler\u2019s contacts with the breakaway region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgia was one of the main destinations for Belarusians fleeing politically-motivated reprisals that continue unabated since the 2020 crackdown on postelection protests. However, over the past six years, Tbilisi has not granted a single asylum request from Belarusians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s September 2022 visit to Abkhazia, its prime minister approved the transfer of 20 hectares of land a company controlled by the Belarusian ruler\u2019s ex-bodyguard, the Belarusian Investigative Center (BIC)<a href=\"https:\/\/investigatebel.org\/en\/investigations\/cena-vizita-v-abhaziyu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">&nbsp;reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It found that ex-bodyguard Alaksandar Ramano\u016dski is CEO of Termalia, the company that holds a 90-percent stake in OOO Zhemchuzhina 2010, the plot recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A month after \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s visit, an Abkhaz television station reported that the land was provided for the construction of an $260-million health resort in the Kyndyg village at the Black Sea coast, in the Ochamchire region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigative journalists used Abkhazia\u2019s register of legal entities to identify the company\u2019s owners and interviewed the minority shareholder, Abkhazian resident Dato Kvitsiniya, who confirmed that the papers were made in his name but he was involved in the deal only for paperwork purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said he was paid \u201ca small amount\u201d for the registration services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More like this: <a href=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/ru\/news\/109154\/\">Abkhazia transferred plot to company linked to \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s circle \u2013 BIC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 23, Pozirk.
