Georgia, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia to Meet Foreign Delegations in Geneva

Georgia and the former Georgian republic of Abkhazia are seeking to renew security talks in an upcoming summit in Geneva. The conference will include delegations from the U.S., Russia, the EU, Georgia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, the UN, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Previous talks were abandoned in 2006 as relations between the two sides worsened regarding Abkhazia’s southern most district of Gali.

South Ossetia, another former Georgian territory, will also send a delegation to Geneva to participate in the talks. This will be the fifth meeting of nations following the war between Russia and Georgia over the region during August of this past year. Russia was largely condemned for its invasion of South Ossetia and, so far, Nicaragua is the only other country to recognize South Ossetia or Abkhazia’s independence.
