Georgia has terminated all of its agreements that it has so far made with South Ossetia in order to bring a peaceful solution to the problems, Georgia’s State Minister for Reintegration Temur Iakobashvili said. The Joint Control Commission set up in 1992 to settle the Georgian-Ossetian question peacefully was terminated, said Iakobashvili. “The Georgian administration has decided to bring the service of Russian peace-keeping forces in South Ossetia to an end, which requires Russia to withdraw all of its peace-keeping forces from the region.”
Georgia supported a peace plan drafted in compliance with a treaty of six articles that was brokered by France, said Iakobashvili.
The region hosted, prior to the outbreak of the war, joint troops of peace-keeping forces from Russia, Georgia and Ossetia in order to maintain security and stability.
