Protesters stormed the parliament of the Russian-backed breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia on Friday and opposition politicians demanded the resignation of the self-styled president over an unpopular investment agreement with Moscow.

Protesters in Georgia's Russia-backed breakaway region of Abkhazia declined on Saturday to leave the parliament building which they stormed the previous day, a departure proposed by the region's president as a condition for resigning.

Protesters in the main city of occupied Abkhazia, Sukhumi, broke through the fence around the complex of "government buildings" and partially seized them on the afternoon of 15 November, protesting against the approval of an "investment agreement" with Russia.
