from "ABSENCE OF WILL" documentary film by Mamuka Kuparadze.
[11.52 sec.] Gia Karkarashvili: "But I was told that the 13th-14th August was a good time to launch a military operation because the Russian Parliament was in recess. Unfortunately, we entered Abkhazia in a very disorganized way. We didn’t even have a specific goal and we started looting villages along the way. As a result, in the space of a month we managed to make enemies of the entire local population, especially the Armenians."

[4:34 sec.] Reporter: "Mr. Shevardnadze, could you we have prevented the war in Abkhazia?"
Eduard Shevardnadze: "Of course we could. However, we need to remember the times we were living in back then and what was going on in Georgia at the time. But [Tengiz] Kitovani, the defence minister, should never have sent troops to Sukhumi. That was our biggest mistake."
During the war a lot of prisoners were released in Georgia and sent to fight in Abkhazia. There were a lot of drug addicts as well. They went Abkhazia for plunder not for fighting. Even Georgians saying that there were abnormal soldiers on their side. Those soldiers attacked Georgians - their own people.
There were many former prisoners — not war prisoners, but criminals. This is reported by International Committee of the Red Cross.
Karkarashvili done a lot of bad things he is bad man i hate him because he was shevardnadzes right hand he must be die because he don't deserve to live he is most evil general in history of georgia
I am Georgian, and if he really such things would not be nice. Unfortunately, I am having difficulties to get what he is saying. It is either my computer or my hearing.
He looks already afraid and no self confidence for sure.He must be best Russian speaker in Georgia so they sent him just because of this, otherwise no sense.
I am wondering how did you find 400,00 figure. Could you show me any source please.
According to the 1989 census there were ONLY 239,872 "Georgians" living in Abkhazia.
Refugees is always a big problem and it was NOT Abkhazia who bare responsibility for them - it is Georgia that STARTED the war and CREATED huge humanitarian catastrophy. By the way Georgian population fled before Abkhaz Army entered the occupied territories. See UNPO's Abkhazia Report in 1992.
