Georgia's level of contribution in assuring the security of the Sochi Olympics games will be made in the near future, Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Alasania said at a press conference on Monday.

"The Georgian government and myself, have repeatedly spoken about our willingness to cooperate with regional countries, including Russia, in assuring the security of the Sochi Olympics," the minister added. "We want peace during the Olympic Games."

Cooperation with Russia, either directly or through a mediator, is to be determined in the near future, he stressed.

"The driving force on the matter is the Interior Ministry," he added. "The Defense Ministry will ensure a counter-terrorist operation in case of any such need."
