and say through security forces as protection from armed gangs. now the republic of a cause in the caucuses will elect a new president in just over a week following the death of its leader after cancer treatment there are a number of challenges ahead in the wake of the long running fight for independence from neighboring georgia as artie's been here. we are in the republic of a cause here where preparations are under way for the august presidential election alexandra is the country's acting president and also one of the candidates and he's here with us today the upcoming election will be the second presidential election since a cause a game recognition just how hard it is for a cause here to live as an independent state and there's more of course there are many difficulties with the company a lot already but there's still an enormous amount of work to be done we optimistic about our future the most important thing is that following our country's recognition we've had it security in short now all we need to do is get down to

work and there are a lot of things to be done for the country and the people many of cause eons currently reside the brought there also georgian refugees who would like to return to their homes in the plaza will the upcoming election take into consideration the needs of those who consider this republic their home young enough and you of course he has never i don't see any relation between the abkhazians who reside abroad in russia or in more remote places and the refugees who became ones because of the war and as for the election it's only citizens of a republic or eligible to vote there's nothing i can add to this will be international observers be present at the election who's been invited already and who agreed to come up with i think it would you question them there will be very many observers if one hundred is a lot standing there it is because that is approximately the number of observers that will be monitoring our election we have already sent the invitations are palm source and that by the way observers were present in significant numbers at the

previous election when sergey back and she got reelected i can tell you honestly that their evaluations were mostly positive for abkhazia service considered our election to be fairly democratic and transparent and maintained it because it should serve as an example for many countries and i think the upcoming election will go exactly like. that is well since a pause here remains unrecognized by many countries what are the chances that the current election will be considered legitimate abroad than we have with them but a new broom we don't even focus on that what matters to us is that we must administer the election in accordance with causes legislation how others may react to it is another matter what is truly important is that we do everything right those who are unbiased will come up with an impartial assessment of the election as for the issue of recognition of our election let me speak plainly even if it sounds a bit too blunt for this interview we don't really campaign according to supporters of your competitor said a gay samba is the current leader of the polls with almost forty percent support

what are your views on the campaign. in compliance with a longstanding principle i would prefer to refrain from mentioning any names now and according to our new and improved procedures i wouldn't cite any figures public opinion is a very intricate matter especially in the air because in society and figures do not always reflect the actual situation the results of the election will become clear once the votes have been counted in formalize in an official statement as for today we're busy preparing the vote and the election campaign is generally moving ahead without any trouble there are occasional rough edges but i'm confident that the people in some of the campaign headquarters just this stone says and keep along the guidelines of the agreement that was signed by the three presidential candidates the political battles of two thousand and four place the pause there on the brink of civil war what should be done to avoid such a scenario today. and there's nothing of the kind not by

a long shot in two thousand and four the situation was absolutely different so i can tell you honestly and i believe it's very important that your viewers should be made aware of this back in two thousand and four it was through some very serious efforts by sergei baggage and rule has that the situation was stabilized i would even say that it was. thanks to the wisdom and full sight of these two politicians into the situation was resolved successfully and appropriately get calls in society was very grateful to both of them for that if anyone feels that the events of two thousand and four may reoccur i believe such an assessment is premature and we i mean the society do not share the opinion of those who believe this election should end up with some kind of confrontation we have entirely different plans. the result because in treaty on military cooperation the play grown work for stationing russian troops in the country was signed one half years ago but it has been submitted for

a terrific ation by the russian parliament only recently why is the process getting a fresh start today is the fear of new georgian aggression and was not of what was have been asking of the us magnus what we know is that for us georgia is not a very friendly state because he is present legal standing allows us to say that any aggression will be repelled or size the presence of russian servicemen feeds our optimism about the future when a safety and that of our country is security protected and we intend to strengthen this kind of cooperation with the russian federation we've also been collaborating with russia in other areas everything is just getting started and it all looks promising a mutually rewarding we intend to meticulously implement the comprehensive agreement signed by our two presidents state dimitri medvedev and mr second baggage we strongly support the case of strengthening our relations with russia what kind of methods can we expect from georgia and its attempts of restoring what official

police equals the country's territorial integrity when the us over the past years we've lost a lot of people to violence at the border including over one hundred russian peacekeepers as well as zero border guards customs offices reservists and civilians and and it's certainly georgian politicians that is to blame. even today regretfully the georgians often ng gaijin assaults and sabotage operations as you probably remember when there was a russian border troop and a young lieutenant colonel who was killed in action a few months ago it was in the news reports but despite that russian border troops keep settling down in abkhazia i believe that in the year or so our border will be sufficiently fortified and the situation will change drastically if we are really looking forward to that or is it possible for georgians who are prepared to recognize a cause as an independent state to return to their homes not only in the bordering gali district but also let's say in the capital so who supports the rights come and see ordinance today the situation in the gaudy district is very different from what

it was like in the past and we're convinced that there will be continuous progress at the moment we've issued about nine thousand cosima passports for the residents of the gaudi district and this trend continues we're strongly concerned that all people should feel safe and live in peace traditionally this area was always well developed economically and we're confident that it will pick up eventually and the life of the people in gali will improve on we believe that this district has great prospects and it is our tell us to make sure that all gali residents feel like rightful citizens of our republic. there's a whole generation of people in a positive who survived two wars with georgia during the past twenty years as a possible at all for these people to live peaceful lives. through the model of if you refer to our young people aged eighteen to twenty they ready cherish the events of the recent past and honor the memory of those who defended their country's independence and it's the task of the government to keep strengthening this memory

the way i see it all people don't live in constant expectation of things to come nor did they consciously think back to the events of the past from my point of view because these present domestic situation is very tranquil you have survived five us nation attempts during the past six years why has. one being charged you probably know who is behind them. is your life in danger now but if you are in the past if a politician should always be aware of danger as for me personally these assassination attempts being investigated the relevant security agencies have made considerable progress in this aspect but this is an issue for a separate discussion applies in needs foreign investment but is it possible to attract capital to projects in the country when its legal and economic status lacks credibility in the eyes of potential investors how would a posse of protect international investors. of course our own budget is quite modest and we certainly are in need of money in the form of investment at present

most of the investment comes from russia but we would definitely be happy if international businesses would also consider cooperating with the republic of the coliseum we are open for that and our fiscal and investment legislation is fairly advanced and i believe this is surely going to happen someday as for now we mainly get investment from the russian federation and we're very happy about it well we understand each other very well and our prospects a great the russian city of sochi is very close to a plaza is there any profit for a cause in the fact that so much is being invested into such as a limp project the critical mass of really much to our regrets we are unable to organize in jus time so as to take part in those projects at least with our commodities i'm talking about sandy gravel cement to crush stone we do deliver some of the materials but the volumes are very tiny if we were to increase our sales this was certainly onus of money and that would be good for both thought business and government but so far sales volumes virtually insignificant and it's on the run

a soviet cosmonauts you to get in and willing to train on it and it's also used in cross training for many other sports. but there were many people start trampoline him as it provides a foundation for other sports like gymnastics diving freestyle skiing snowboarding and other extreme sports in russia many teams now have trampolines and the popularity of it is growing. complicated either called nation of movements in hockey players also use it in training for example many food police perform cartwheels and somersaults of to score goals and they practice those tricks on a trampoline and many other sports use trampolines well the decision speed for jumpers as far as that of formula one drivers. with its increasing popularity trampolines working its way into fitness clubs and gyms is becoming more affordable and it's a great way of keeping in shape eight minutes of jumping musical to running three
