  1. We agree with the Secretary-General that it is precisely these terrorist groups that are the main cause of instability and tension in the area of conflict, and we demand that the sides take decisive action to put an end to their criminal and destructive activities. Russia is prepared to continue to do its utmost to ensure that the parties reach mutually acceptable agreements and that progress in made towards an overall political settlement.

  2. While we attach great importance to the question of security in the area of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, we deem it only fair to point out that recently the situation in this region has considerably improved, although it does remain rather fragile. We have also taken steps to enhance the effectiveness of the CIS peacekeeping force in order to ensure the security of the international personnel of the United Nations. The Russian Federation is seriously concerned at the persistent terrorist activities of the so-called uncontrolled armed groups in the Gali region, which increasingly are targeting civilians.

  3. During that period, through the peacemaking efforts of the CIS, 23,000 explosive devices have been rendered harmless and more than 250 hectares of arable land demined. This force, through its very presence, has also enhanced the security of the refugees who have been spontaneously returning to the Gali region. The Russian delegation supports the further six-month extension of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia. We share the view of the Secretary-General of the United Nations regarding the substantive and important role of the Mission in stabilizing the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia, and in seeking to find a peaceful settlement to the conflict.

  4. We are pleased to note the continuing close interaction between the United Nations and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in resolving the conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia. This cooperation is taking place strictly on the basis of Chapter VIII of the Charter, and the activities of the Collective Peacekeeping Forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States are backed by the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, which repeatedly have welcomed the important contribution of the CIS peacekeeping force in helping to stabilize the situation in the conflict zone. A little more than a month ago, 21 June, marked the fifth anniversary of the deployment, at the request of the parties, of the CIS peacekeeping force in Abkhazia, Georgia.

  5. Mr. Liviu Bota: the standing mechanism of working meetings between the Georgian and Abkhaz sides. This, in tandem with work on the political documents, allows for progress to be made on mutual confidence-building measures and for the intensification of economic and cultural cooperation between the parties. It is important that the agreements reached by the parties in these areas be implemented. We welcome the meetings held in Athens and Istanbul between the Georgian and Abkhaz sides under the chairmanship of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Georgia. We take note of the value of these meetings from the point of view of maintaining the positive dynamism in the dialogue between the parties and of building confidence between them.
