TENTH ROUND OF DISCUSSIONS ON SECURITY AND STABILITY IN TRANSCAUCASIA BEGAN IN GENEVA
30/03/2010 16:10 ABKHAZIA, SUKHUM
Delegations of Abkhazia, Georgia, Russia, the USA and South Ossetia
participate in consultations held under the aegis of the United
Nations, EU and OSCE.
Discussion will be traditionally carried on in a format of two panels - on security issues and on humanitarian subjects.
According
to the message of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian
Federation, published on the threshold of the meeting, at the
consultations Russia will support increasing the efficiency of incident
prevention mechanisms in the region. "Tbilisi’s bellicose fantasies,
which climaxed with the public provocation of the Georgian Imedi
television company on March 13 this year, only confirmed the need for
legally binding nonuse of force obligations on the part of Georgia”,
the Ministry emphasized. "The peoples of Abkhazia, Georgia and South
Ossetia have long ago earned the right to peaceful life and security
assurances”.
"The Geneva discussion will unavoidably include
assessment of Georgia’s so so-called State Strategy on Occupied
Territories, which emissaries from Tbilisi are currently trying to
present in the international arena as an indication of their
"peace-loving” intentions. Geneva discussions need sensible and
flexible approaches which would take into consideration the real
situation in the Caucasus and facilitate developing good neighborly
relations between Georgia, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia”.
"The
Russian side plans to support increasing the efficiency and dynamics in
the work of the joint incident prevention and response mechanisms in
the region, providing direct contact between the parties "in the
field", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs assured.
"The panel on
humanitarian issues will continue to seek a comprehensive solution to
the problems of refugees and displaced persons that is acceptable to
all sides, with emphasis on ensuring voluntariness, safety and a
respectful attitude to this process”, the Ministry added
Discussions
on security and stability in Transcaucasia have been conducted since
October 2008 on the basis of the agreement between the Presidents of
Russia and France, reached after the tragic events of August 2008 in
South Ossetia. Taking part in the Geneva meetings on an equal footing
are the delegations of the Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia, the Russian
Federation, the United States, the Republic of South Ossetia, as well
as representatives of the EU, UN and OSCE. Deputy Minister of Foreign
Affairs/State Secretary Grigory Karasin heads the Russian delegation.
Following
the results of negotiations representatives of delegations and
organizers will hold separate news conferences in the Palace of Nations.
