Participants in Geneva consultations on South Caucasus will make on Tuesday yet another attempt to draw up a document providing non-aggression guarantees between Georgia and its former republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The Geneva talks on security in the South Caucasus were first held in October 2008, following a five-day war between Georgia and Russia over South Ossetia in August that year. The war began when Georgia attacked the republic in an attempt to bring it back under central control. As a result, Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia and another former Georgian republic, Abkhazia.
Participants in the talks have so far failed to adopt a legally binding non-aggression treaty that would assure security in the region. They only worked out proposals concerning the prevention and settlement of conflicts between Georgia, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
