The United Nations is sparing no effort to continue the Geneva discussions on security in the South Caucasus. Speaking at a meeting with Abkhazia’s President Sergei Bagapsh in Sukhumi the new UN representative for Georgia Antti Turunen described as successful the five-party talks to prevent any incidents in the Gali District in Abkhazia and the Zugdidi District in Georgia. Sergei Bagapsh said he was prepared to participate in further discussions for security in the region but pointed out that none of Abkhazia’s proposals so far had met with support. The Geneva discussions have been on since October 2008, following the agreements between the presidents of Russia and France in the wake of the tragic events in South Ossetia in August 2008. The participants include Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Georgia, Russia, the United States and representatives of the EU, the UN and the OSCE. Russia insists on legally binding agreements on the non-use of force between Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
