Nezavisimaya Gazeta, October 13, 2001

Deputy Speaker of the RF State Duma, Lyubov Sliska, commenting on yesterday’s decision of the Georgian Parliament to demand the withdrawal of the Russian Peacemaking military contingent from Abkhaz territory, as well as the topic of Georgia’s departure from the CIS, expressed the opinion that “one should not be driven by emotions and adopt hasty decisions.” According to Sliska, Georgia will not leave the CIS.

Regarding the withdrawal of the Russian peace-makers, she said that “the norms of international law will prevail and the Georgian side will agree that the presence of our military in Abkhazia is absolutely legal in accordance with accepted international agreements.” According to the First Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction Sergei Ivanenko, it is in the interests of both countries “to overcome the gaps which have emerged in relationship with Georgia recently.”
