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. As the only guarantee of non-use of force should be the agreement that will have legally binding authority for Georgia i.e. the agreement of non-use of force against Abkhazia and South Ossetia that would be backed by international guarantees.
