Moscow: Return of Ambassador to Georgia Not on Agenda

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Denisov said on October 27 that the return of Russian Ambassador Viacheslav Kovalenko to Georgia is not on the agenda yet, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

?We fail to see any conditions that might foster his return to Georgia,? the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said.

Most of the Embassy staff and their family members, including Ambassador Kovalenko, left Georgia on September 29 in a ?partial evacuation? from Georgia in response to the arrest of four Russian military officers charged with espionage. The officers were released on October 2.
