The Forum of Abkhaz People’s Unity (Russian: Форум Народного единства Абхазии) is a prominent oppositional political party in Abkhazia.
[edit] History
The Forum of Abkhaz People's Unity was founded on 8 February 2005 to unite 12 opposition parties, socio-political movements, public organisations and youth organisations, which however continued to exist as individual entities. It mainly brought together supporters of Raul Khajimba in the October 2004 presidential election. Khajimba had lost that election, but became Vice President following the power-sharing agreement concluded to end the post-election crisis, and the Forum of Abkhaz People's Unity considered ensuring the strict implementation of that agreement one of its principal tasks. The Forum was initially governed by a coordinating board of twelve members, headed by Gennadi Alamia, co-chairman of the Social-Democratic Party of Abkhazia.[1]
The Forum became a socio-political movement on 10 October 2005 and Avtandil Gartskia, Vitali Gabnia and Daur Arshba were elected its co-chairmen.[2] On 6 March 2008 the Forum was transformed into a political party and Daur Arshba and Astamur Tania became its two co-chairmen.[3].
