Protesters occupied the parliament in protest at an investment agreement with Moscow
MOSCOW - Protesters in Georgia 's Russia -backed breakaway region of Abkhazia declined on Saturday to leave the parliament building which they stormed the previous day, a departure proposed by the region's president as a condition for resigning.
"When they leave the building, I will write my resignation letter and in the new election we'll see how much support they get," RIA cited Bzhania as saying.Protesters said in a statement that the occupation was not against Abkhazia's close ties with Russia, but accused Bzhania of "trying to use these relations for his own selfish interests manipulating them for the sake of strengthening his regime".
Moscow said on Friday it was following the "crisis situation" with concern and urged Russian citizens to avoid travel to Abkhazia. Russia recognised Abkhazia and another breakaway region, South Ossetia, as independent states in 2008 after defeating Georgia in a five-day war. It maintains military bases in both regions and props up their economies.
Most of the world recognises Abkhazia as part of Georgia, from which it broke away during wars in the early 1990s.
