    "THERE ARE MARKED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THOSE CONFLICTS"

    Both Russia and Georgia have ignored their commitments" CoE General
    Secretary Terry Devis told a press conference today.

    With regard to the Russian-Georgian conflict he reiterated his words
    said at yesterday's PACE session.

    In general, Terry Devis disagrees to the wide-spread opinion that
    Georgia and South Ossetia have always had some unsettled conflicts. The
    CoE General Secretary says it doesn't matter which of the sides was
    the first to fire a weapon. Currently, the most important question
    is to think of further steps.

    I support the territorial wholeness of the CoE member-states,"
    Mr. Devis said in view of Russia's recognition of the independence
    of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

    In reply to a Serb journalist's question why the CoE General Secretary
    didn't express the same opinion when Kosovo proclaimed unilateral
    independence, Terry Devis reminded that he hadn't endorsed Kosovo's
    unilateral independence. At the same time he noted that there are
    considerable differences between Kosovo and other conflicts. South
    Ossetia, Abkhazia and Karabakh greatly differ from Kosovo.
