Abkhazian Parliament opts not to strip opposition MP Kvarchiya of immunity after protracted standoff
The effort to oust MP Kan Kvarchiya stemmed from a public dispute involving Russian political strategists apparently illegally working in Abkhazia.

The effort to oust MP Kan Kvarchiya stemmed from a public dispute involving Russian political strategists apparently illegally working in Abkhazia.

A mass drone incursion in March raised questions over the authorities’ ability to defend Abkhazia — and in its willingness to warn its own people.

The pair were brought on for questioning before escorted out by security personnel.

The case is linked to Telegram posts about a dispute over a museum exhibition in Sukhumi (Sukhum).

Russian grants appears to be little more than PR exercises, while pressure continues to mount against Abkhazia’s opposition figures.

Valentin Karpin had gone missing in Abkhazia before being located in an FSB detention centre in Russia’s Sochi.

Authorities claimed there were no damages or casualties as a result of the raid.
