GEORGIAN-ABKHAZIAN NEGOTIATIONS IN SUKHUMI ENDED WITH
NO RESULTS 

-[In] the Kodori Gorge, in the area of the
Georgian-Abkhazian conflict "there stayed more than
900 armed people." The press secretary stated that
Georgia was describing them differently: "as
reservists, frontier guards or something else, but
they were armed and subordinate to the Georgian
Defense Ministry." 

MOSCOW, 25 April. /RIA Novosti correspondent Vladimir
Pakhomov/. Press secretary of the Abkhazian government
Zaira Tsvizhba informed RIA Novosti on the phone that
the Georgian-Abkhazian negotiations ended with no
results. The Georgian delegation left the capital of
Abkhazia (a self-proclaimed republic in the territory
of Georgia). 

While finalizing the second half of negotiations with
the Georgian delegation Abkhazian prime-minister Anri
Jergenia stated that "we did not move a step forward."
He emphasized that "until Georgia withdrew its armed
formations from the Kodori gorge and ensured
monitoring, the Abkhazian side would not consider any
issues." According to Zaira Tsvizhba, "judging by the
documents presented by Georgia" in the course of the
negotiations, in the Kodori Gorge, in the area of the
Georgian-Abkhazian conflict "there stayed more than
900 armed people." The press secretary stated that
Georgia was describing them differently: "as
reservists, frontier guards or something else, but
they were armed and subordinate to the Georgian
Defense Ministry." Zaira Tsvizhba reported that the
Georgian side was of the opinion that the negotiations
were eventually of some use as "the issues for further
discussion were raised". The press secretary stated
that "possibly, a meeting of the Security working
group of the Coordination Council would be held.
Dieter Boden, representative of the UN Secretary
General was insisting on that." She emphasized that
"General Aleksandr Yevteyev, commander of the
Collective peace-keeping forces also put forward his
proposals. But the participants of the present meeting
did not agree either a venue, or the date when that
might happen."
