Abkhazia wants into the Russian-Belarusian Union

Abkhazia "plans to join" the Union State of Russia and Belarus, as well as to join the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

"Abkhazia is set to have a dialogue with all countries in the region. But the main and only strategic ally of ours is Russia, - said the leader of the puppet regime of Abkhazia Sergei Bagapsh when speaking in Moscow before the students of MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations). - Politics of Abkhazia on this question is determined not even by its president but it was decided by our grandfathers. Our feelings in relations with Russia have not changed after the recognition of our independence".

He also indicated that he would like to see his country in many international organizations, but above all in the abovementioned the Union State and the Customs Union. "Union State is the first step. We are anxiously watching the situation in Ukraine, are having a dialogue with Belarus in the expectation that it recognizes our statehood, and in the end, it will be easier for us to join the Union State," said the leader of the separatists.

According to Sergei Bagapsh, the next step should be accession of the republic to the Customs Union.
