Abkhazia rejects latest UN draft peace proposals
Abkhazia will not discuss the "basic
principles of distributing constitutional powers" between Georgia
and Abkhazia, which were drafted by the UN, Astamur Tania, an aide to Abkhaz
President Vladislav Ardzinba, told Caucasus Press on 18 February. That
draft envisages broad autonomy for Abkhazia within a unified Georgian state.
Abkhaz Prime Minister Vyacheslav Tsugba, for his part, told Caucasus Press
that the Abkhaz authorities are prepared to discuss only establishing relations
with Georgia on the basis of two equal states. LF
