Tbilisi Firm on Russia WTO Accession Terms
Newly appointed Economy Minister Giorgi Arveladze said on November 22 that Georgia will adhere to its firm position over Russia?s WTO accession and insists that Moscow legalize trade through two border checkpoints – Adleri-Leselidze, at the border between Russia and breakaway Abkhazia, and the Roki Tunnel, at the border between Russia and breakaway South Ossetia.
?We have two very concrete demands – I mean the commitments that Russia undertook in 2004; however, it did not fulfill them. Our principled position is that if these commitments are not met, we will not give the go-ahead [to Russia?s accession to WTO],? the Economy Minister told reporters.
