Vashadze: Georgia will Start Talks with Democratic Russia One Day

Georgian Foreign Minister, Grigol Vashadze, said on October 5, that one day Georgia would need to negotiate with “democratic and free Russia.”

“Sooner or later we will need to talk with Russia, with democratic and free Russia, which has a responsibility before the international law, its neighbors and the international community. So we welcome the readiness of all countries, especially of our brotherly Ukraine to act as mediator if Russia is ever ready to seriously consider problems persisting between the two countries,” Vashadze said while speaking at a news conference after meeting with visiting Danish counterpart, Per Stig Møller, in Tbilisi.

Remarks were made in response to the question about the statement of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in which it said Kiev was “ready to make its contribution to the cause” to intensify international efforts directed towards “return of the sides into the conflict at the negotiating table and to help them to achieve agreements in line with the UN Charter and Helsinki Final Act of OSCE.”
