Summary

Protests erupted in Abkhazia, a breakaway Georgian region, over a real estate investment deal with Russia.

Demonstrators stormed parliament, clashing with police who used tear gas, and later broke into the presidential administration offices.

Protesters fear the deal would enable Russian oligarchs to buy land, displacing locals.

Amid calls for President Aslan Bzhania’s resignation, his administration announced plans to withdraw the agreement.

Russia urged its citizens to avoid the area, labeling it a “crisis situation.”
