Saakashvili Calls for ‘Mutual Compromises’ with Russia

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said, while speaking at the first plenary meeting of the Parliament’s spring session that he is ready to travel to Moscow and again extend a hand of friendship to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

“I am ready to extend a hand of friendship, which has been [left] hanging [in the air] for one year, to Vladimir Putin,” Saakashvili said.

Last February, when President Saakashvili traveled to Moscow and met President Putin, the Georgian President said he visited Moscow in order “to extend his hand of friendship” to Putin.

“We face particular problems in our relationship with Russia; however this mistake should be corrected through mutual compromises. This should occur on the basis of defending bilateral interests,” Mikheil Saakashvili said.
