With a joint statement the puppet regimes of Abkhazia and Tskhivanili
asked all the “subjects of international law” to refrain from useing the term
“occupation” and “occupied territories” towards them.
With a request of delegations of the both occupied terrotires, the
informational session on expediency of the use of
this term was held the day before the 20th round of Geneva talks. Along with representatives of
these delegations, Russian side also insists that using the term “occupation”
towards Abkhazia and Tskhinvaili is unfrair and contrary to the international
norms.
Of course, this logic is not based on the fact
that Abkhazia and the so-called, South Ossetia
are Georgian territories, which still are occupied by foreign troops. For that
reason, the separatists and Russia
require consideration of their approach and also, “prohibit” the use of “other
such terms legally and factually unjustified”. They hope that the co-charimen
of the Geneva
talks will consider the mentioned recommendations.
