Oct 4 2005 12:45PM Georgia wants Russia out of Transcaucasia - Kokoity MOSCOW.
Oct 4 (Interfax) - The charges made against Russian peacekeeping forces
by Georgia are aimed at driving Russia out of Transcaucasia, said South
Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity. "The greatest aim of
Georgia in achieving the withdrawal of the Russian peacekeepers from
Abkhazia and South Ossetia is to oust Russia from Transcaucasia,"
Kokoity told a briefing at the Interfax main office on Tuesday. "The
unfounded charges against the Russian peacekeepers are also aimed at
discrediting this unique peacekeeping process," he said. http://www.interfax.ru/e/B/politics/28.html?id_issue=11391954 |
