Abkhaz, Georgian Sides Resume Routine Talks

Routine quadripartite talks between the Georgian and Abkhaz sides, which include the participation of representative of the Russian peacekeeping force deployed in the conflict zone and UN observers, were resumed on december 16 in the village of Chuburkhinji, in Abkhazia’s Gali district.

The Abkhaz side pulled out from these talks six months ago, after the Georgian coast guard opened fire on a Turkish ship en-route to breakaway Abkhazia.

Before this incident talks were held once a week to discuss the ongoing developments in the conflict zone.
 
The Georgian side will be represented at the talks by Governor of the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti Region Gigi Ugulava.
