SUKHUMI. May 13 (Interfax-AVN) - Abkhaz First Deputy Defense Minister Givi Agrba has called Georgia's proposal to change the peacekeeping mission's mandate in Abkhazia unacceptable. The proposal was made during consultations between Georgia and Russia on May 8.
In an interview with Interfax on Monday, Agrba said that the Abkhaz side is categorically against the expansion of the Russia- controlled security zone.
He dismissed Georgia's proposal as evidence of that government's desire to disavow the cease-fire agreement and the disengagement of forces brokered in Moscow on May 14, 1994.
