The fact that Abkhazia and S.O. are participating in the Geneva talks mean that some interests exist in this direction, Dieter Boden, former UN Special Representative in Georgia said in his interview with "Caucasian Echo". He believes that the direct talks with Russian Federation are necessary for Georgia.
"They are at the table of negotiations but at the same time Georgia needs a dialogue with Russian Federation. They are neighbors and without the direct dialogue it will be very hard to live. I think the first step should be informal one, "- Boden said. We had a bad experience of freezing relations this should not happen again, he noted.
