Georgia secession from CIS to play in Russia's hands, Georgian diplomat says
''Russia will only benefit by Georgia's withdrawal from CIS, by renouncing its liabilities,'' Georgia's Ambassador to CIS Zurab Khonelidze stated, voicing his disapproval of Sahakashvili's decision to withdraw from CIS.
The Georgian President had first announced his decision to withdraw from CIS in August 2008.
''Our country is no longer willing to belong with organization headed by the state that has occupied Georgia's territories,'' Sahakashvili emphasized
Georgia submitted a petition to withdraw from CIS on Aug. 18, 2008, yet the withdrawal can be effected only on the expiry of 1 year period due on Aug. 18, 209.
