Inner
City Press Asks Georgia About
Abkhazia in CONIFA
World Cup, Ukraine Of What
Learned
By Matthew

UNITED NATIONS,
May 29 – As Ukraine's Foreign
Minister Pavlo Klimkin spoke
to the UN Security Council on
May 30, Georgia's Ambassador
Kaha Imnadze held a press
conference at the UN entitled
“Violations of International
Law by the Assad regime and
the Russian Federation by
recognizing the occupied
Georgian regions of Abkhazia
and Tskhinvali region/South
Ossetia as so-called
independent states.” Inner
City Press left the UN
Security Council stakeout, to
which unlike other
correspondents it is confined
while excluded from the rest
of the UN's second floor, and
went to ask questions. It
asked more questions than
anyone else, ranging countries
recognizing Abkhazia and South
Ossetia to Abkhazia's
inclusion in an upcoming
counter World Cup, by CONAFIA
in London. Imnadze said it
must be a con, dismissed those
recognizing Abkhazia and did
not seem to answer if Georgia
is asking its allies to put
Georgia back on the agenda of
the UN Security Council. Video
here.
Afterward Inner City Press ran
back to the Council stakeout
and asked Ukraine's Foreign
Minister Pavlo Klimkin about
the press conference and what
he learned. He mocked those
recognizing Akhbazia and said
Ukraine stands with its
Georgian brothers. But what
about the CONAFIA World Cup in
London? Watch this site.
