Abkhaz and Russian representatives declined at the last minute to attend talks in Tiflis under the UN aegis, scheduled to take place on 22-23 July 2005 and to address security measures to be implemented in the Abkhaz conflict zone.
Abkhaz Foreign Minister Sergei Shamba told the independent Georgian television station Rustavi-2 that Sukhum´s decision not to attend the talks was made in response to Georgia´s failure to hand over cargo confiscated from a Turkish vessel intercepted by the Georgian Navy last month.
Georgian Minister for Conflict Resolution Giorgi Khaindrava rejected that argument as illogical, and accused Russia and Abkhazia of boycotting the UN-sponsored search for a settlement of the conflict.
