GEORGIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY CONDEMNS RUSSIAN CONTACTS WITH ABKHAZIA
By empty (8/19/2002 issue of the CACI Analyst)
In a statement released on 19 August, the Georgian Foreign Ministry accused Moscow of encroaching on Georgia's sovereignty and demonstrating disrespect for a neighboring state by dispatching a Russian government delegation to Abkhazia earlier this month to discuss with the breakaway republic's leaders the prospects for expanding economic cooperation. The Georgian statement also criticized as "incorrect" an assertion by Russian Foreign Ministry representative Vasilii Kolotusha blaming Georgia for the outbreak of hostilities in Abkhazia in August 1992.
