A court of appeals in Georgia reconsidered the case of Turkish sea captain Mehmet Öztürk, who was sentenced to 24 years of imprisonment for delivering oil products to the Georgian breakaway province Abkhazia. The sentence was reduced to a $18,000 fine and a suspended prison term of three years. Georgia's Foreign Minister stated that the decision was made by President Mikheil Saakashvili at his meeting with the Turkish Foreign Minister, which took place hours before the court decision.
