GEORGIA ASKS UN FOR FULL-FLEDGED PEACEKEEPING FORCE
By empty (10/29/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Revaz Adamia, who is Georgia\'s ambassador to the UN, has written to the UN Security Council to request a full-fledged UN peacekeeping mission for Abkhazia. Adamia argued that the Russian peacekeeping force deployed under the auspices of the CIS is ineffective, and he accused Russia of the \"military annexation\" of a part of Georgia\'s territory. Adamia further deplored as \"cultural genocide\" the Abkhaz authorities\' refusal to condone the use of Georgian as the language of instruction in schools in Abkhazia\'s predominantly Georgian-populated Gali Raion.

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan expressed concern over that refusal in his most recent letter to the Security Council reviewing the situation in Abkhazia. (Caucasus Press)
