The Great classicist-unique Fazil has passed away.

Fazil Iskander, whose works are known throughout the world for using humor and digressive, anecdotal style in his often satirical portrayals of life in Soviet Abkhazia has passed away at the age of 87 years old.

It is an irreparable loss, there is no point in writing about his contribution to the world culture and literature, and there are no measurements to understand his importance in popularization of Abkhazia in the world.

He was describing our way of life with sincere kindness and warmth, made our national character understandable throughout the world. Familiarity with works of Fazil allows readers from different countries to travel to Abkhazia, where subtle strings of human relationships are intertwined, which was so close to Fazil.

We believe that his heritage will grow and flourish. The name of Fazil, which gained glory during his lifetime, will help us to preserve our identity and culture. Fazil is - wisdom, conscience, goodness, humanity and infinite benevolence of our era.

We express our sincere condolences to family and friends. We mourn with them.
