Raul Khajimba is not going to run for president at the so-called elections appointed for March 22. The so-called Vice President of Abkhazia Aslan Bartsits told the Russian agency “Tass”.

“Raul Khajimba will not run for president. He is a citizen of his own country; therefore he will stay in his own country and take part in the political process to bring order and legality to the country” – Aslan Bartsits said.

De-facto president of Russian-occupied Abkhazia Raul Khajimba resigned yesterday.  On January 10, the so-called Supreme Court of Abkhazia declared the results of the second round of the presidential election and the decision of the court of the first instance illegal. So-called by-elections in Russian-occupied Abkhazia will be held on March 22.
