The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia assesses the statement, made by the Russian Foreign Ministry, as a continuation of a culpable policy by the occupant country. Ministry of Foreign Ministry released a statement in response to the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Georgian side terms the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry as a tough violation of international commitments.
The Russian Foreign Ministry made a statement that withdrawal of Russian armed forces from Perevi village ended fulfillment of the Medvedev-Sarkozy treaty.
" it should be emphasized that the withdrawal of Russian occupational forces from Perevi is just a miniscule step in comparison with commitments envisaged by the ceasefire agreement of 12 August 2008 which Russia still has to comply with. The Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of Georgia would like to once again remind the international community that Russia continues to brutally violate the ceasefire agreement of 12 August 2008. The Russian Federation still occupies 20% of the territory of Georgia, where several military bases and more than ten thousand Russian troops continue to be stationed.", - the statement of Georgian side says.
The Georgian side once again calls upon Russia to respect the principles of International Law, comply with all provisions of the six-point ceasefire agreement and fully de-occupy the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia.
