Russia Insists on Discussion of S.Ossetia, Abkhazia Status
Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 19 Aug.'08 / 13:59

The United States and Britain are resisting “active attempts” by Russia and France to have a UN Security Council resolution that would further reinforce already existing six-point ceasefire accord, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued in the evening on August 18.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has claimed that the United States and Britain were trying to “distort” real state of affairs “as if aggressive actions of Georgia against South Ossetia” had no effect on the region.

“They are also ignoring an urgent need to launch serious consideration of an issue related with the status of South Ossetia and Abkhazia,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The six-point ceasefire accord, signed by Georgia, no longer contains a phrasing calling for launch of discussion of the status. It has been removed from the initial draft after Georgia’s insistence. Instead, the final accord reads: “Opening of international talks on the security and stability arrangements in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry, however, said in the statement that “it would be impossible to provide reliable security for the two Republics [referring to breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia], without such a resolution on their status, which would enable the South Ossetian and Abkhaz people to calmly look into the future.”
