Descended from a
wealthy Abkhazian family (his grandfather owned a brickyard; not a very
big one, but quite profitable), that was deprived of its property after
the Revolution, Fazil lost his father, Abdul Iskander, early. But only twice have larger commercial passenger jets
been brought down--once in 1993, when Abkhazian rebels in Georgia shot
down a Russian airliner, killing 106 passengers; and once in 1983, when
UNITA rebels in Angola claimed to have bought down another such
aircraft, killing 130. The 21st century Viking journey will
traverse the Dnepr River, pass the Crimean peninsula and sail along the
Russian and Abkhazian coasts to the mouth of the Rioni-River, in
Georgia. |
