The Abkhazian government kindly take practical steps to provide accomodation in apartments and houses for the returnees' families who stay in the hotels. It is desired that the returnees merge with the Abkhazian society. The plan to integrate the returnees was developed by the State Committee of Repatriation and it is now in its final stage. It is also important to prepare apartments with full readiness. In addition to the provided accomodation, there is a monthly financial aid amounting to 2000 rubles per person in the family.

But what is the returnees' opinion about this step?

«A new phase in our lives and a step forward towards stability and a sense of security», as some have described. But the fear of the unknown future still exists, because the aid {which is the only resource of some small families} does not fit with the prices of goods and food. Such problems put these families in the hands of the State Committee of Repatriation.

What is the response of State Committee and what are the solutions that will be provided?
