Georgia, Tbilisi, July 6 / Trend , N.Kirtskhalia / Whether there will be another war with Russia depends not only on Georgia, Georgian Reintegration Minister Temur Yakobashvili said, Imedi TV reported.

The re-beginning of the war depends on today's meeting of the Presidents of Russia and the United States," he said on July 6.

Yakobashvili believes that Barack Obama's meeting with Dmitry Medvedev is important that Russia will receive Washington's concrete views on the matter.

The minister does not exclude the possibility of renewal of military actions.
"The probability exists, but that does not mean that the war will necessarily re-start. Last year at this time the only side that talked about the war was we [Georgia], but no one, including the West, wanted to listen to this. And today, many people say that the renewal of war is likely," said Yakobashvili.

According to Yakobashvili, the U.S. has quite clear position regarding Georgia, and at today's meeting, the issue of Georgia will be risen principally.

U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in Moscow on July 6 on a three-day visit.
