UN Security Council holds close-door consultations on Georgia

The UN Security Council held close-door consultations on the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict.

Ambassador Jean Arnault, the head of UN mission in Georgia presented the latest report on Abkhazia issued by Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.

“There were no armed collisions in the conflict zone lately. However, misinformation engendering hostility and fears was being circulated… The Georgian-Abkhazia political process reached a deadlock,” the report says.

Mr Ban said the UN Secretariat with assistance of a friendship group could “assess the peaceful process in Abkhazia.”
