  • The president of Abkhazia, a tiny separatist region that broke away from Georgia, announced he was stepping down Sunday after days of opposition protests over the elections he won last year. Raul Khajimba said he was resigning "in the name of stability", according to a letter cited by Russian news agencies. Vice president Aslan Bartsits told Ria Novosti the move was designed to avoid bloodshed. Only a handful of countries, including Russia, recognise Abkhazia as an independent country. Most of the international community considers it to be part of former Soviet Georgia. The region had been rocked by days of protests by supporters of opposition leader Alkhas Kvitsiniya who is contesting the result of the September presidential poll, which he narrowly lost to Khajimba, at the Supreme Court. On Sunday, he welcomed the news of his rival's resignation, saying it was the only to stabilise the situation. The central election commission has already planned fresh presidential elections for March 22, but Khajimba has not said if he will run again. On Thursday, protesters seized the presidential administration building in the region. At the time Khadjimba called for calm but also threatened to call a state of emergency. Georgia and its Western allies have condemned Russia's continued "occupation" of its territory and have demanded the Kremlin reverse its recognition of Abkhazia -- and another breakaway region South Ossetia. pop/jj/boc
