Abkhazian artists creating sculpture
Artists from Abkhazia are creating a sculpture devoted to the Russian aggression, with the support of the legal Abkhazian Education and Culture Ministry, 24 Saati reports.
Work on creating a conceptual sculpture has already begun. It will have an original shape, representatives of the Education and Culture Ministry said. Weapon racks used by Russian aggressors in Georgia will be used as material for the sculpture.
