The discussions focused on one issue – security and guarantees of non-use of force by Georgia against South Ossetia and Abkhazia. According to the Head South Ossetian Delegation, the Special Representative for Post-Conflict Settlement, Boris Chochiev, it is problematic to demand any guarantees from the people who militarized Georgia and took part in the aggression.
“But, taking into consideration Russia’s recognition of our independence, the pressure Russia is exposed to by the international community and the information war unfolded in August 2008, our goal is to continue persuading the international communitu that it was not Russia’s aggression against Georgia, but the aggression committed by Georgia against peaceful population of South Osseitawith the support of many states, that is, the goal is call things with their proper names. And today, Georgia is not going to provide any guarantees, but is conducting NATO exercises in its areas adjacent to South Ossetia and Abkhazia. But if we keep demanding for elaboration of a document guaranteeing security, not one would do it for us”, said Chochiev.
