Nauru Recognizes Abkhazia
Today, the Pacific island nation of Naura recognized the Republic of Abkhazia. Abkhazia released the following statement:
“Abkhazia is honored to be recognized by the Government of Nauru. Like Abkhazia, Nauru is small but determined to achieve a productive life for its citizens through independence, hard work, and a vision for the future. My Government looks forward to working with that of President Stephen Marcus. We have already discussed ways to expand economic development, cultural exchange, and political cooperation between our two countries. The more UN member countries that recognize Abkhazia, the stronger our sovereignty becomes. For us, that strength enables us to plan for the future rather than to fear ever returning to the past. That is reality, and it is irreversible.” --Sergei Bagapsh, President, The Republic of Abkhazia, December 15, 2009
Nauru has about 11000 people on just over 8 square miles of territory that sit 26 miles south of the equator in the western Pacific Ocean. It became independent in 1968.

Now isn't it lovely? I wonder how Naurians learn about Abkhazians.
Of course, we must definitely refute the "desa" stating that Russia paid each citizen of Nauru $3,500 and in reality this money went in keke's pocket

All is well, there was no genocide in Abkhazia, freedom and democracy won.
