Nino Burjanadze also stressed Russia?s role in the current situation. ?Russian peacekeepers [deployed in the South Ossetian conflict zone] will either perform their duties or we, along with OSCE and other international organizations, will discuss the issue of their replacement by international peacekeeping forces,?
