MOSCOW. July 25 (Interfax-AVN) - Maj. Gen. Sergei Chaban, commander of the CIS joint peacekeeping force in the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict zone, and Ivo Petrov, head of the U.N. mission in Abkhazia, have demanded an emergency four-sided meeting on the situation in Kodori Gorge. "At 4 p.m. Moscow time the commander of the CIS joint peacekeeping force and head of the U.N. mission in Abkhazia held a conference and decided to demand the urgent convocation of a four-sided meeting [Abkhazia, Georgia, Russia and the U.N. mission] to settle the situation in and around Kodori Gorge," Deputy Commander of the Russian Ground Forces for peacekeeping Lt. Gen. Valery Yevnevich told the press on Tuesday. "By transferring troops and police to the southern security zone in Kodori Gorge the Georgian side violated the mandate of the CIS peacekeeping force as well as the 1994 Moscow agreement on a ceasefire and separation of forces," he said. "Peacekeepers were sent to the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict zone under a decision of CIS heads of state, while troops have been transferred to the responsibility zone of the peacekeepers without any notification of these heads of state," Yevnevich said. http://www.interfax.com/3/178178/news.aspx
