Europe not ready to give impartial assessment to frozen conflicts
"The European community is not ready give impartial assessment to frozen conflicts, Abkhazian Foreign Minister Sergei Shamba said when commenting on the Berlin hearings on frozen conflicts.

Europe's nonconstructivity is proved by the fact that representatives of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno Karabakh are not present at the Berlin conference, according to him.

"Such an approach can lead to bloodshed," he stated.

"The unrecognized republics will continue pressing for recognition of their independence. It doesn't matter whether South Caucasus representatives will hold discussions without participation of principal parties to conflict," he said adding that 'West manifests adherence to double standards', IA Regnum reports.
