Putin urges South Ossetian conflict parties to abide by accords
SOCHI, August 20 (Itar-Tass) — President Vladimir Putin has called
on all parties to the South Ossetian conflict to abide by agreements.
`There is only one way out: to start negotiations, reach agreements
and have political will to implement them,’ he said after
negotiations with Armenian President Robert Kocharyan.
`There is will be no results’ if the [Joint Control] Commission would
make decisions in the morning and representatives of a member country
of the Commission would disavow the decisions in the evening, Putin
said. `I hope that all parties will show political maturity and
responsibility in the interests of their peoples,’ Putin said.
