Georgians and Russians Experience No Interpersonal ProblemsMarch 20, 2006 - 16:41 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Georgia pursues a complimentary line, which calls for normal relations with all the states, Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze stated at a press conference in Yerevan today. In his words, Georgians and Russians experience no problems at interpersonal level. "Politics sometimes runs counter to the interests of certain people and nations suffer from it. Georgia is discontent with Russia's peacekeeping activities in the region of the Georgian-Ossetian and Georgian-Abkhazian conflicts. The peacemakers had to establish peace in the region. Instead they sided with the separatists and granted Russian citizenship to the residents of South Ossetia and Abkhazia," he said.The Ambassador also noted that in 1994 Georgia issued a plan of the South Ossetian conflict that was approved by the OSCE. "The plan provides for the juridical status of South Ossetia as a part of Georgia. Georgia highlights the plan since it first of all takes into account the interests of the Ossetian population. However Russian diplomats say they are not acquainted with the document. I should underline that is was sent to the RA MFA as well," Gachechiladze said.
