PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia does not want to negotiate with the Georgian
side in a constructive manner, Georgian Foreign Ministry said in its
official statement.
"Any relations, which Russian authorities engage in with South Ossetia
and Abkhazia are in violation of universally recognized norms and
principles of international law as well as obligations of Russia
undertaken on international arena," the statement said.
This statement was response to submission of Agreement with Sukhumi on
cooperation in customs sphere to State Duma by the Russian President
Dmitry Medvedev.
"It is noteworthy that neither present nor any other so-called
"international agreements" concluded between Russian Federation and
Georgia's occupied regions have any legal effect and are applicable in
international relations, as Abkhazia and Tskhinvali Region/South
Ossetia represent integral parts of Georgia and do not have a status
of subjects of international law," Foreign Ministry's statement says.
Moreover, Tbilisi states that "in circumstances when Georgian side
expresses its readiness to resolve all outstanding issues between
Georgia and Russia and is undertaking concrete efforts in this
direction, the recent step of the President of Russian Federation once
again makes it clear that Russian side is not willing to proceed with
negotiations with Georgia in a constructive manner," the statement
says.
The Georgian Foreign Ministry notes that Russian side continuously
tries to instill "new reality" created by Russia, however neither
Georgia nor international community will legitimize or tolerate this
reality, according to Trend.
