Rhetoric of Georgia’s Policymakers Doesn’t Match Their Weight
Hawkish rhetoric of Georgian authorities doesn’t correspond to the weight category of these policymakers, State Duma Vice Speaker Oleg Morozov told the reporters.
The sentiment of Russia’s-Georgia’s relations has been more negative than positive recently. The aggravation of these relations is the fault of Georgian politicians, Morozov pointed out.
“The latest proposals of Russia in part of the visa procedures and some other aspects are the gesture of good will in respect of Georgia,” Morozov specified. “But the response to that gesture was cool, choosing my words carefully,” the vice speaker added.
Not Russia had triggered the conflicts of Georgia with Abkhazia and Ossetia, the vice speaker recalled. “The actions taken by Georgia don’t improve Russia’s-Georgian relations,” he said.
Nowadays, Georgia endeavors to make its problems with Russia a matter of international concern and has even initiated an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council dedicated to the situation in the area of its conflict with Abkhazia. The cause was the recent destruction of Georgia’s spying unmanned aircraft in Galsky district of Abkhazia.
Tbilisi presses for withdrawal of Russia’s peacekeepers from the conflict areas in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, apparently counting that the international contingent won’t prevent it from getting back the unrecognized republics by force.
