In the telecast participated employees of Fund "Sukhumi”, invited experts, and participants of the meetings.
The TV plot showed before the telecast told about meetings carried out within the framework of the project in towns and districts of Western Georgia (Zugdidi, Kutaisi, Batumi, Poti, Anaseuli, Khurcha, Senaki) where experts presented to different spectrum of society (intelligentsia, students, IDPs, journalists, representatives of governmental and non-governmental sector) with the results of the survey of Georgian and Abkhaz experts – "Dialogue process on security guarantees in the context of Georgian-Abkhaz conflict”.
Experts tried to fix attitude of society towards the aforementioned issues.
During the telecast there were heard opinions which were most frequently expressed at the meetings.
"Society does not want war. When it comes up to conclusion of agreement, society’s positions split”.
"We should agree with Abkhazians in any form but without legitimating of their independence”.
"In the government they do not have single attitude to these issues”.
"We need security guarantees more with Russia, but existence of such base document is one of the main ways for rebuilding of confidence with Abkhazians. At the same time it would be desirable to make it happen on the initiative of Georgia and not on the recommendation of the European Union and other structures.
At the end of the telecast again there was recorded the position of the Fund's board, according to which there necessarily will be continued work on examination of the public attitude towards those issues, that will enable researchers to make deep and detailed analysis of public positions.
The project is implemented with the support of International Alert, Great Britain.
