RUSSIA SUSPENDS TALKS WITH GEORGIA
By empty (8/27/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced in a 27 August statement that it will not participate in any further bilateral talks with Georgia on either military issues or the proposed framework treaty on bilateral relations as long as nightly protests continue outside its embassy in Tbilisi. Since 19 August, Georgian computer enthusiasts have been projecting insulting slogans onto the facade of the embassy building every night and playing Georgian national melodies at full volume. The Russian Foreign Ministry statement characterized the Georgian authorities\' failure to take any measures to halt those protests a violation of the Geneva Conventions.Visit also
