Georgia will raise the issue about situation in area of Georgian-Ossetian conflict, specifically about the incident in the village of Ditsi on UN General Assembly, Georgian foreign minister Maia Pandjikidze said on Thursday.

Pandjikidze briefed representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in Georgia, with the situation at the administrative border.

"that is happening in Ditsi - is a violation of international norms. I urge our partners to express solidarity with us, because it is the only tool that we have. We condemn the use of power, so in this situation statements of diplomatic and political support are important", minister said.

Large scale military action was launched in South Ossetia on August 8, 2008. Later, Russian troops occupied Tskhinvali and expelled the Georgian military.
Russia recognised the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in late August. In response, Tbilisi ended diplomatic relations with Moscow and called the two unrecognised republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia occupied territories.
