Putin to Meet Abkhaz, S.Ossetian Leaders

Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet separately with the leaders of breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Sochi, the Kremlin said on May 10.

Putin, who was sworn in as President on May 7, will meet with Abkhaz leader Alexander Ankvab on May 11 and with South Ossetian leader Leonid Tibilov on May 12.

A day before planned meeting between Putin and Ankvab, Russia said that its Federal Security Service (FSB) found a huge arms cache in Abkhazia, intended for targeting Sochi Winter Olympic Games facilities and claiming that weapons were brought into Abkhazia by Chechen warlord Doku Umarov, who, it claims, maintains “close links” with the Georgian security services.
