The President of Georgia Saakashvili during a live televised address on PIK channel Tuesday made statements that are completely controversial to his previous statement at European Parliament that Georgia will not resort to military force against Abkhazia and South Ossetia. He said “we are in state of war” and that’s why I believe that Saakashvili has rejected himself the recent statement that Georgia will not use force against South Ossetia and Abkhazia. This should be a lesson for those who rely on this statement.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia is showing its concern over M. Saakashvily` s statement which he made on January 25th of this year on live broadcasting channel PIK (First Informational Caucasian).
