MESSAGE FROM THE PRESS-SERVICE FOR THE MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA
13/04/2010 18:00 ABKHAZIA, SUKHUM
The fifteenth five-sided meeting within the framework of the Mechanism
on incident prevention and response chaired by the United Nations,
attended by the Abkhaz, Georgian, Russian parties and the EU Monitoring
Mission was held in the city of Gal on April 13. The meeting was
attended by a newly-appointed UN representative Antti Turunen for the
first time.
The
Abkhaz party raised the question connected with the incident near the
village of Otobaya, when an explosive device had been discovered on the
road going to the village of Gamnukhuri. The Abkhaz party said it
didn’t bring charges, however the version of an intentional provocative
action from the part of Georgia couldn’t be excluded.
Within the
framework of the discussions the Abkhaz delegation expressed concern
with numerous appeals of the Georgian leadership to international
organizations to apply additional sanctions against Abkhazia. This
fact, according to the Abkhaz party, is destabilizing and aimed at
creating the atmosphere of tension in the region. Recently the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of Georgia has sent a note to the International
Maritime Organization in connection with inadmissibility of navigation
in water areas of Abkhazia and asked to support Georgia in establishing
a blockade of Abkhazia. "Thereby Georgia tries to close any
communications to Abkhazia both transport and information ones. The
civilian population of Abkhazia suffers from these actions most of
all”, the MFA International Department Chief L. Agrba said. She also
reminded that, in turn, Abkhazia itself can be a plaintiff in
international organizations regarding the sanctions applied to it.
The
Abkhaz party insisted that return of the Bouket vessel with the cargo
be a permanent item on the agenda until the final settlement. However
the Georgian party refuses to make any explanations regarding this
problem, considering this case to be an issue between Georgia and
Turkey. The EU Monitoring Mission of EU adheres to the same position.
The parties agreed to hold the next meeting in Gal on May 5.
