The words `occupation and `de-occupation` regarding the two breakaway regions of Georgia used by the US Secretary of State, have irritated Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry has released a special statement in response to the statements made by Mrs. Clinton and said that these words were extracted from the context of the statements.
`No Russian soldier remains on the territory of Georgia, there are Russian military contingents, but they are stationed on the territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which have been separated from Georgia after the aggression launched by Saakashvili. These two republics have their democratic leaderships. We hope that our American partners will take into consideration the objective reality in their public and practical activities,` the statement says.
