GEORGIAN-ABKHAZ TALKS SUSPENDED AFTER TURKISH VESSEL SHELLED
By empty (7/31/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Abkhaz officials suspended talks with their Georgian counterparts on 31 July in response to the recent shelling of a Turkish commercial cargo ship off the Abkhaz coast. A statement issued by the Abkhaz official criticized the incident as breach of the cease-fire agreement in effect and stated that \"the actions of the new Georgian authorities in regard to South Ossetia, and now in regard to Abkhazia, demonstrate that the Georgian side has embarked upon a policy of wrecking the process of peaceful settlement of conflicts.\" (RFE/RL).Visit also
