Georgia Accused Russia of Undermining its Sovereignty

Georgian Interim President Nino Burjanadze said today, while addressing OSCE Ministerial Council in Maastricht, that Russia undermines Georgia?s sovereignty and territorial integrity with its unilateral moves.

?Our Russian colleagues should also understand that actions undermining Georgian sovereignty and territorial integrity similar to those we witnessed during the last week in Moscow ruin all positive messages and put us in an unavoidable confrontational position,? Reuters reported quoting Nino Burjanadze.

Georgia?s new leader was referring to the last week?s talks in Moscow, when Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov met with de facto Prime Minister of Georgia?s breakaway region Abkhazia and de facto President of Georgia?s another secessionist region South Ossetia.

?We are ready to step out of a box of historical prejudices and start our relations from a clean paper. At the same time this should be a two-way street,? Nino Burjanadze added.

Georgian Interim President will hold bilateral talks with Colin Powell, the U.S. Secretary of State on December 2.
