“We want to believe that some values will be re-analyzed by the new president in Georgia. Also, the dialogue between Abkhazia and Georgia will have a positive basis with participation of mediators in the negotiations,” stated the so-called Minister of Foreign Affairs of Abkhazia, Daur Kove on Georgia's election results.
