Medvedev: Re-Arming of ‘Saakashvili Regime’ Underway

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on October 28 that plans were underway to re-arm "the Saakashvili regime."

“We will continue supplying weapons and equipment exclusively for the purpose of maintaining the defense capabilities of our partner [states],” Medvedev said at a meeting of the State Commission on Foreign Military Cooperation on October 28. “But as the August events have demonstrated, not all members of the international community abide by such an approach. We know how diligently a number of states delivered arms to the Saakashvili regime, thus actively encouraging it in its aggression. Now, plans are underway to re-arm this regime.”

“Unfortunately, a number of states close to us also participated in this. We will not forget this and we will certainly take this into consideration in our practical policies. I would like everybody to bear this in mind.”
