Georgia Protests Russian Officials’ Visit to Breakaway Abkhazia

(Tbilisi, December 24, 2002. Civil Georgia) -Georgia’s Special Affairs Minister Malkhaz Kakabadze told the reporters today that the visit of the representatives of the Moscow Mayor’s Office in breakaway Abkhazia was not agreed with the Georgian side.

Russian delegation visited Abkhaz capital Sokhumi on December 20-24 and held talks with the unrecognized Abkhaz authorities on cooperation in tourism.

“This is the vivid evidence of Moscow’s double standard policy towards Georgia,” Malkhaz Kakabadze stated.

Georgia frequently demands from Russia to inform in advance regarding the visits of Russian authorities in breakaway region.
