Abkhazia Briefing: Alexander Cooley and Lincoln Mitchell Urge the West to Change Its Policy

Thursday, 29 April 2010 20:33

The Harriman Institute - April 29, 2010

"The United States needs to change its policy toward Abkhazia,” stated Professor Alexander Cooley at the Harriman Institute on Monday April 26, 2010. "While we should continue to make it clear that we will not recognize its statehood, we must also engage the region. Otherwise it will just drift further into Russia.” Cooley, along with Professor Lincoln Mitchell, has just returned from Abkhazia—the two scholars are working on a Harriman-sponsored project about U.S.-Georgia relations. In April, they published an "Action Memorandum” in The American Interest addressed to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, urging ...

Sukhum Outraged by PACE Resolution on Abkhazia

Indira BARTSITS (Abkhazia)

Abkhazia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Shamba, has expressed anger over the decision PACE made during its spring session to reaffirm its previous resolution on the situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

The spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) took place in Strasbourg from April 26-30.

The Foreign Minister’s statement, which was released on Thursday, reads as follows: "Previous PACE resolutions were biased in nature in that they absolved Georgia of guilt for provoking tensions in the region and starting the conflict in South Ossetia and Abkhazia; the resolutions cannot be viewed as an objective approach to solving the existing problems.”

Shamba believes that PACE has once again demonstrated its lack of constructive ideas ...

Abkhazia 'Temporarily Suspends' Participation In Geneva Talks

Abkhazia will not attend the next round of talks scheduled for July 27 in Geneva on security issues in the wake of the August 2008 Russian-Georgian war, Abkhaz presidential administration head Nadir Bitiyev announced on June 23.

Bitiyev stressed that "no one doubts the expediency" of those talks. But he went on to complain that the proposals of the Abkhaz and South Ossetian sides are ignored, and the discussion of an agreement on the non-resumption of hostilities is relegated to the back burner in favor of "secondary issues" that have no bearing on security.

One week previously, Abkhaz Foreign Minister Maksim Gvindjia similarly stressed that Abkhazia considers the Geneva talks "a very important mechanism that it is essential to support...a forum at which we can exchange information."

The Geneva process was one of the ...

More Disagreements Emerge Between Abkhaz and Russian Interests

Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor

June 7, 2010 01:52 PM

By: Valery Dzutsev

On June 1, the head of Abkhazia’s state committee on tourism, Tengiz Lakerbaya, lashed out at Sochi Mayor, Anatoly Pakhomov, for publicly diminishing Abkhazia’ touristic value. The criticism followed comments made by Pakhomov on May 28, when he said that Abkhazia had once been popular with tourists because of low prices there but that because its beaches were not kept clean and the Abkhaz side did not want to simplify travel from Russia into its territory, which was creating long lines on the border, Abkhazia was no longer competitive. Lakerbaya responded to the Sochi administration by saying that Pakhomov’s remarks would hardly increase the number of tourists coming to Sochi. He pointed out that it was not Abkhazia but in ...
