The Georgian government and the Tbilisi-based Abkhaz government in exile commemorated on 27 September the fall of the Abkhaz capital in 1993, which effectively ended the 14-month war and triggered the flight from Abkhaz territory of the region\'s ethnic Georgian population. Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said at a ceremony in Tbilisi to honor the Georgians killed in the fighting that the war was a defeat for both Georgians and Abkhaz. Parliamentary speaker Burdjanadze vowed that Georgia will \"soon\" restore its control over the breakaway republic by peaceful means. Irakli Alasania, who heads the government in exile and whose father was killed in the 1992-93 war, vowed that \"it is the duty of our generation\" to restore Georgia\'s territorial integrity.
