Georgia, Tbilisi / Trend corr.

"The juridical documents, developed within the period around Abkhaz conflict, show that Geoegia has full right unanimously demand withdrawal of peacemaking forces," the Georgian State Minister stated.
"We do not aim to remove Russian peacemakers from the conflict zone, but we aim to internationalize the peacemaking process and give them right of policies to protect citizens in the region," Yakobashvili said.
