On March 14, President of the Republic of Abkhazia Raul Khadzhimba had a meeting with Chairman of the State Committee for Repatriation of the Republic of Abkhazia Beslan Dbar.

Beslan Dbar reported on the previous working visits to Turkey, the main results of the work which was done by the State Committee last year and the plans for 2018.

During the trip to Sakarya, a big meeting took place with the participation of more than five hundred representatives of the Abkhazian diaspora. At the meeting, the presentation of the project of the Abkhazian House of Culture in Adapazarı took place.

“The atmosphere and the program of the meeting were such that it felt like we were in Abkhazia. We received a suggestion to support the concert tour of the ensemble “Sharatyn” in Turkey and to use a part of the income to build a new Abkhazian centre. We are ready to provide the necessary support” - remarked Beslan Dbar.

Beslan Dbar also spoke about a working trip to participate in festive events as part of the jubilee celebration of the Abkhazian cultural centre in Istanbul. On the day of memory of the First President of the Republic of Abkhazia Vladislav Ardzinba, commemorative events took place at the Istanbul centre.

Beslan Dbar informed the President that in 2017, 382 repatriates became citizens of the Republic of Abkhazia. He also pointed out the growing interest in interaction and repatriation on behalf of the Abkhazian diaspora of Jordan. More than 80 people from Jordan and 26 people from Turkey are ready to move to the Republic of Abkhazia.

The Head of State stressed that it is necessary to develop and adopt a repatriation program as soon as possible.

“Our compatriots who return to their historical homeland should receive support in education, healthcare, employment and housing. They should feel that when they come here, they stop being repatriates and become citizens of the state”, - remarked the President.

The Head of State also remarked that it is necessary to invite the representatives of the Abkhazian diaspora from abroad to the events that are dedicated to the big anniversary dates in 2018.
