Georgian Parliamentarians at CIS Parliamentary Assembly

(Tbilisi. November 23. Civil Georgia) – Parliamentary Chairperson of Georgia Nino Burjanadze visits St.-Petersburg on 23-24 November. Delegation of Georgian Parliament participates in the Parliamentary assembly of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Defeating terrorism is the main issue in the summit agenda.    

Georgian Parliamentarians intend to discuss the issue of withdrawal of Russian peacekeeping from Georgian-Abkhazian conflict zone as well.

According to the resolution passed by the Georgian Parliament on October 12, further presence of the Russian peacekeepers in Abkhazia is regarded as inappropriate.

Russian peacekeeping forces are deployed across the boarder of Abkhazia and the rest of Georgia since the mid-1994, under auspices of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
