This interview featuring Badri Belkaniya and conflictologist Paata Zakareishvili provides a broad overview of Georgian-Abkhazian negotiations.
It covers all the important details of the long-term process — a missed chance to avoid war, the visits of the Abkhaz ex-president Vladislav Ardzinba and ex-premier Sergei Shamba to Tbilisi, and the visit of Georgian delegations to Sukhumi.
The participants also talk about where things stands today and where a solution might be found.
Paata Zakareishvili believes that a direct dialogue between Tbilisi and Sukhumi is necessary, and that only Tbilisi can save the Abkhazians from Russian isolation.
