MOSCOW. Dec 23 (Interfax-AVN) - President Vladimir Putin said the problems in Abkhazia must be resolved by taking into account Georgia's territorial integrity and considering the interests of all peoples who live on that territory.
"We proceed from the notion of Georgia's territorial integrity, but we think that any disputable issues, including the Abkhaz and South Ossetian problems, must be resolved at peace negotiations and with due consideration of the interests of all peoples populating that territory," Putin told a news conference in the Kremlin on Thursday.
