Okruashvili Calls to Renounce Treaties on Conflicts

Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Okruashvili said that Georgia should renounce ?all agreements signed in respect of both the Abkhaz and South Ossetian conflicts in few months.?


Speaking in a political talk-show on Rustavi 2 TV on July 20 Okruashvili said that Georgia is committed to peacefully solve conflicts, ?but we are not going to keep a blind eye on these conflicts for a long time.?


When asked what he means under ?for a long time,? Okruashvili responded: ?one month.?


He hailed the Georgian Parliament?s July 18 resolution, which instructed the government to launch procedures for withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from the conflict zones, as ?unprecedented.?


?This is a resolution which gives a direct instruction to the government and entrusts us to start everyday work to enforce this decision. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to pass a huge test,? Okruashvili said.


He said that this resolution is not ?an empty paper? as described by the opposition parliamentarians.
