CoE to consider report on conflicts in Georgia
The Council of Europe (CE) will consider Secretary General Thorbjørn Yangland's seventh consolidated report on the conflicts in Georgia on May 29.
Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Tamar Beruchashvili stated at a press conference on May 27 that the Council of Europe continues monitoring the commitments of Russia and Georgia taken in connection with the August 2008 war. This issue is constantly on the organisation's political agenda.
The seventh report on the conflicts in Georgia covers the period from October 2012 to March 2013. Georgian first deputy foreign minister David Zalkaliani will deliver a speech at a meeting of the CE Committee of Ministers.
Large scale military actions were launched in South Ossetia in Georgia on August 8, 2008. Later Russian troops occupied Tskhinvali and expelled the Georgian military.
Russia recognised the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in late August. Tbilisi ended diplomatic relations with Moscow in response and has announced the two unrecognised republics as occupied territories.
