New Commander of Georgian Peacekeepers Appointed
Col. Petre Goguadze has been appointed Commander of the Georgian peacekeeping battalion, which is part of the joint Russian-Georgian-Ossetian peacekeeping forces stationed in the South Ossetian conflict zone.
Col. Goguadze, who formerly served as the Commander of the Rapid Reaction Forces Staff, replaced Aleksandre Kiknadze.
Kiknadze was injured in a car crash on October 31 in the conflict zone, which also led to death of one civilian who was driving another car. Kiknadze was dismissed after this incident.
