SERGEI LAVROV: TBILISI NOT INTERESTED IN RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS IN SOUTH OSSETIA AND ABKHAZIA
- Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Georgia of attempts to internationalize the South Ossetian and Abkhazian conflicts and said the country is not interested in their resolution. “Instead of following its commitments, Georgia tries to internationalize the South Ossetian and Abkhazian conflicts. Introduction of Tbilisi-sponsored resolution on return of displaced persons to Abkhazia is a part of Georgia’s propaganda,” the RF Minister said.
