Protesters Storm Abkhazia's Presidential Armory and Seize Weapons

The situation in Abkhazia continues to remain tense. Recall that the internal political climate escalated sharply yesterday when protesters stormed the presidential residence in Sukhum, shattering windows and breaking down doors.

Reports have emerged today indicating that protesters have also broken into the presidential armory and seized weapons. According to reports, the police are attempting to prevent potential clashes between the opposition and the ruling authorities.

The main demand of the protesters is clear: the resignation of the de facto president, Raul Khajimba. Just the day before, the parliament of Abkhazia held an urgent session and adopted a document calling for Khajimba to resign voluntarily.
