Major-General Aleksandr Yevteev, who is acting commander of the Russian peacekeeping force deployed under the CIS aegis in the Abkhaz conflict zone, ignored on 22 April a request by Georgian displaced persons from Abkhazia to meet with them in the west Georgian town of Zugdidi to discuss their grievances. The displaced persons warned that if Yevteev fails to meet with them by 24 April they will again blockade the bridge across the Inguri River that marks the internal border between Abkhazia and the rest of Georgia.
