SUKHUM, APRIL 29, ARMENPRESS: Abkhazia will not let in any
international observers, the republic’s president, Sergei Bagapsh,
told the media on Thursday.
"We have no intention of letting in any international observers,"
he said. "Military observers must stay there where the threat of an
armed conflict comes from. As the experience of the past twenty years
has shown, it is the territory of Georgia."
At the same time Bagapsh said that the republic was prepared for a
dialogue with "all who wish to talk to it." He explained that if some
party displayed such a wish, contacts might be established through
international mediators.
"We do not shirk a dialogue," Bagapsh said.
