By empty (7/22/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Abkhaz and Russian representatives declined at the last minute to attend talks in Tbilisi under the UN aegis, scheduled to take place on 22-23 July and to address security measures to be implemented in the Abkhaz conflict zone. Abkhaz Foreign Minister Sergei Shamba told the independent Georgian television station Rustavi-2 that Sukhum\'s decision not to attend the talks was made in response to Georgia\'s failure to hand over cargo confiscated from a Turkish vessel intercepted by the Georgian Navy last month. Georgian Minister for Conflict Resolution.
