Abkhazia, an illegal and illegitimate republic for Georgia
GEORGIA - Friday 26 August is presidential election day in Abkhazia, a break-away Georgian statelet and three candidates are standing. Apart from Russia, Abkhazia's sovereignty has only been recognized by four countries, including Venezuala and Nicaragua. For Georgia, it is an illegal and illegitimate republic. But not for Moscow. At the end of a 5 day war in 2008 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev recognized the independence of this tiny south Caucasus territory as well as that of South Ossetia. Since then, diplomatic relations between Russia and Georgia have been broken off and Moscow's influence in this strategic region has been growing. Ksenia Bolchakova, our correspondent in Russia, visited the separatist region.

STORYLINE
Abkhazia was awaiting preliminary results on Sunday from a presidential election that pitted Russia against Georgia as each tried to shape the political course of the separatist Georgian region.
About two thirds of around 130-thousand registered voters cast their ballots on Saturday at polling stations throughout the small, subtropical province on the Black Sea coast.
It was the first vote since Moscow recognised Abkhazia's independence in the wake of Russia's war with Georgia in August 2008.
Each voter had his passport stamped to avoid fraud and multiple voting.
Their vote will test the ties that NATO re-established with Russia last week.
Political ties between the Cold War foes had been severed for more than a year after Russia recognised Abkhazia and another breakaway Georgian region, South Ossetia.
The province is home to some 40-thousand ethnic Georgians who are not eligible to vote because they don't hold Abkhazian passports.
According to the most recent reports of the Abkhazian Central Electoral Commission the turnout had been 64.29 percent thirty minutes before the polling stations were closed.
It means that the elections can be recognised as valid.
This time the Abkhazian voters were even more active than at presidential elections of 2005 when the turnout was 63 percent.
Preliminary results of the presidential elections were expected to be announced by midday on Sunday.
But Russian news agency Itar-Tass reported that Vitaly Bganba, a candidate at the elections, phoned this morning incumbent Bagapsh and congratulated him on the victory.
while fighting claims against his legitimacy made by Georgia and much of the international community.

"I want to tell everybody, that we want to return (Abkhazia) by peaceful means. Now we are in Upper Abkhazia and the Georgian government is controlling parts - Chkhalta region, Kodori region and Marukhi pass - all these parts have been liberated and are controlled by the Georgian government."
8. Wide shot of Saakashvili and members of the Georgian government
STORYLINE:
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili on Wednesday flew into a section of the breakaway province of Abkhazia controlled by government forces to rename it, while the separatist leader denounced the move as an attempt to stir up tensions.
Saakashvili's order renames the Kodori Gorge as Upper Abkhazia.
Georgian government forces moved into the gorge's upper 25-mile (40-kilometre) section two months ago to root out members of a defiant militia.
The Georgian president travelled to the village of Chkhalta on Wednesday to inaugurate a new administrative building that is part of a government effort to set up a local administration there.
The Georgian leader also promised to bring the breakaway region's main city, Sukhumi, back under government control.
The Kodori Gorge is a narrow, steep-sided river valley flanked by rugged mountain slopes and dotted with a few towns and settlements.
The upper, inland portion where Georgia claims control has about 4,000 inhabitants.
Abkhazia and another region - South Ossetia - broke away from Georgian control during wars in the 1990s, and Saakashvili has repeatedly vowed to bring them back into the fold.

"Naturally, Georgia's position is absolutely clear. There are agreements on the withdrawal of these bases and they should be honoured. But we should not allow the issue of bases to become the bone of contention between Russia and Georgia".
13. Saakashvili talking to journalists
STORYLINE:
Russia and Georgia have agreed to renew discussions on Abkhazia, a Georgian separatist region bordering Russia, an aide to President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday after the president's meeting with Georgian leader Mikhail Saakashvili.
Abkhazia broke away from Georgia in a war in the 1990s and has been de-facto independent since then under pro-Russian leadership.
Georgia has frequently accused Russia of pressuring Tbilisi by supporting Abkhazia and separatist South Ossetia, controlling much of the country's energy supplies and maintaining two military bases on its territory.
Moscow, in turn, has said Georgia is a transit route for foreign mercenaries and extremist funds earmarked for Chechen rebels.
After several hours of talks the Georgian and Russian presidents agreed on renewing working groups that would discuss refugee return, renewal of rail connections that run through Abkhazia and other issues around the conflict.
According to the Kremlin experts, Russia regards Saakashvili as a leader with whom Russia can have "objective conversations."
Saakashvili, on a two-day visit to improve often-tense relations between his small, struggling country and its giant neighbour, told Putin that Georgia respects Russia's interests.
Georgia's 157 (m) million (US) dollar debt to Russia also was expected to be discussed by the presidents.
