GEORGIA-RUSSIA-CONFLICT-ABKHAZIA

A Russian naval vessel sits in the Black Sea near Sukhumi, the capital of the Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region, on November 21, 2008. Russia and Georgia made progress in resolving security and refugee issues at international talks in Geneva recently but key disagreements were shelved and tensions remain in the wake of their August war, officials said.
