| The European Union is seriously concerned at latest developments in the Georgian Autonomous Republic of Adjara. |
|
| As mentioned above, the reactivation of the Adjara patrol base in upper Kodori Valley is already in progress. |
|
| The patrol continued along the length of the Kodori valley, staying the night at the UNOMIG team base in Adjara. |
|
| It welcomes the statement from the government of Georgia declaring as inviolable the status of Adjara. |
|
| The UNOMIG team in Adjara in the upper Kodori Valley was withdrawn twice: in late January and in February. |
|
| The European Union welcomes the positive developments in Adjara and the peaceful manner in which these have come about. |
|
| The European Union is closely monitoring the situation in Georgia, particularly concerning the Georgian Autonomous Republic of Adjara. |
|
| During the patrol, UNOMIG made preparation for the reactivation of the Kodori team base in Adjara, scheduled for July. |
|
| Adjara had been ruled since Georgian independence as a personal fiefdom of Aslan Abashidze, a former minor functionary. |
|
| The planned reactivation, security permitting, of the UNOMIG team base in Adjara, in the upper Kodori valley, will partially address this issue. |
|
| The European Union now looks forward to the holding of democratic elections to the Supreme Council of Adjara within an appropriate timeframe. |
|
| Most of the above problems were particularly pronounced in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. |
|
| They also observed that the Mission's team base at Adjara, previously occupied by Abkhaz personnel, had been vacated. |
|
| One evening after his return from New York, Saakashvili and I sat by the Black Sea, at a government dacha in Adjara. |
|
| However, the one that caught my eye is the Acharulian version, from Adjara province the south of the country, where the border with Turkey lies. |
|
| Saakashvili's first task was to peacefully put an end to the regime in the autonomous region of Adjara and to make it part of Georgia. |
|
| Ajaria, also spelled Adjara, Adzhariya, or Adžarija, autonomous republic in Georgia, in the southwestern corner of that country, adjacent to the Black Sea and the Turkish frontier. |
|
| Of the 26 women who set out from Moussodougou, only 15 of them were operated on, and Adjara is among those who did not make it to the operating theatre. |
|
| Furthermore, the autonomous province of Adjara continued to withhold revenues which were collected on its territory to the central government budget. |
|
| The European Union is concerned about the social consequences of the de facto blockade of Adjara, and appeals to Batumi to restore all transport communications between Adjara and the rest of Georgia. |
|
|
|
| The European Union welcomes, inter alia, the IEOM findings that ballot secrecy was improved during this election and that freedom of expression was enjoyed by the media in general, with the exception of Adjara. |
|
| The European Union welcomes the constructive role played by the Russian Federation in helping to bring the situation concerning Adjara to a peaceful resolution. |
|
| The European Union calls on the Autonomous Republic of Adjara and on the Georgian government to use only peaceful means in the resolution of outstanding issues. |
|
| The European Union reiterates its support for the territorial integrity of Georgia and welcomes the confirmation by the Georgian government of its respect for the autonomous status of Adjara within Georgia. |
|
| In addition, subject to the security environment and appropriate guarantees, UNOMIG plans to reactivate its team base in Adjara, upper Kodori valley, which should contribute to the transparency of air transport to the valley. |
|
| The restoration of Georgian government authority in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara marks an important step in extending rule of law and respect for human rights throughout Georgia. |
|
| As a result of the special situation, the delegation did not complete its programme, and in particular could not travel to the Adjara Autonomous Republic. |
|
| Despite several attempts by the CEC to exert its authority over the six DECs in Adjara, the CEC could not fully control the election process in the autonomous region. |
|
| Such a visit by President Saakashvili should in turn serve to create conditions for holding free and fair parliamentary elections in Adjara, as in the rest of Georgia, on 28 March. |
|
| The EU urges the authorities of the Georgian Autonomous Republic of Adjara to respect human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law, and to allow for orderly preparations for free and fair parliamentary elections. |
|
| Iranian consulate will open in the city of Batumi, Adjara Region. |
