Georgia requests convocation of the Security Council
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia Tamara Beruchashvili said at a special briefing that the official Tbilisi requires convening a meeting of the UN Security Council on the issue of registration of the new treaty "On the alliance and strategic partnership" between Russia and Abkhazia. "The Georgian authorities also insist for urgent consideration of this issue in the OSCE and NATO. The corresponding document has already been sent to the headquarters of the United Nations. It is unclear when such a meeting will be, and if it will take place. Earlier, the president, the prime minister and most of the political leaders of Georgia condemned the signing of a new framework agreement between Russia and Abkhazia, called the document "an attempt to annexation of indigenous Georgian territory."President Margvelashvili advised Abkhazians and Ossetians to seek a compromise with Georgia, because "only as a part of Georgian culture and statehood the Abkhazians and Ossetians" can keep their original identity. "And Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili complained that despite the positive steps the Georgian government to establish relations with Russia, Moscow " is taking unfriendly steps." However, the former speaker of parliament, Nino Burjanadze, which is considered the most "pro-Russian" politician in the country, drew the attention of the public that the new treaty was the result of an ongoing commitment to join NATO, and the declared plans to deploy in Georgia "training center" of the NATO. -02D-
