Lavrov Calls on Georgia to Stop Anti-Russian Policy

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called on the Georgian authorities to stop their anti-Russian policy and offer more worthwhile prospects to the Georgian people in terms of relations with Russia, Interfax news agency reported on December 19.

He said that the roots of the current tensions between Russia and Georgia relations go deeper than the September arrests of four Russian officers in Georgia.  

?The violation of existing agreements and refusal to follow them, abuses against the Russian leadership, attempts to humiliate our peacekeepers, provocations against them, escalation of tensions in the conflict zones, and the aspiration to mobilize Western powers against us under the pretext of Russia planning aggression, have already become the visiting card of Tbilisi?s policy,? the Russian Foreign Minister said.
