Damascus, SANA – President of Abkhazia Raul Khajimba on Friday met the members of the Abkhazian community in Syria, voicing appreciation of Syria’s decision to recognize Abkhazia as an independent sovereign country.
President Khajimba said that what he witnessed in Syria is different from what the Western media portrays, as he saw a loving people rallying around their leadership, stressing that no war machines or terrorist pawns can overcome the will of the Syrian people who have a bright future ahead of them.
