According to Ivanishvili, right conduct, right action and correct diplomacy territorial integrity will restore Georgia's territorial integrity.

"The situation in this issue is very complicated. The situation is driven into a deadlock. I can not say that we have a specific plan, although I believe that through the correct behavior, action and correct diplomacy the territorial integrity will be restored. And the key to a solution is once again inside the country. We have to interest to our brothers - the Abkhazians and Ossetians - to live in a single country. And what's more, our country should be interesting for living "Ivanishvili noted.

Russia recognised the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in late August. In response, Tbilisi broke off diplomatic relations with Moscow and announced the two unrecognised republics as occupied territories.
