Russian deputy minister of foreign affairs Gregory Karasin has made first official comment on the judgement of the European Court of Human Rights, where Georgia won the lawsuit against Russia after seven year long discussions.

Gregory Karasin recollected the period, when Georgia filed law suit at the Strasburg Court and said it happened when Georgia was obsessed with anti-Russian hysteria run by Saakashvili`s government permanently. According to the Russian diplomat, the goal of president Saakashvili then was to end the friendship of the Georgian and the Russian peoples. He also said Georgia tried to affect the interests of Russia by launching proceedings against Russia, while the anti-Russian campaign reached its climax in 2008, when Saakashvili started his military campaign that in its turn affected Georgia most of all.

`But the Georgian people succeeded to get rid of this regime in the elections in 2012-2013 and elected the forces, which supported the improvement of relations with Russia,` Karasin was quoted by Russian news agencies.
