/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Georgia has neither the will, nor the means
to attack Russia," Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said in
an interview with FRANCE 24’s regional correspondent "It would be
complete suicide".

Russian troops in South Ossetia and in the other breakaway province of
Abkhazia still number well above 7,000. Mikhail Saakashvili maintains
that Moscow’s aim is to overthrow him. "Russia has made it abundantly
clear that its mission to get rid of the government here in Tbilisi
is not over," he said.

The Georgian president also claimed that Russia had amassed 120,000
soldiers along its border with Georgia. The aim, he says, is to test
Western countries’ ability to react. "Without international community’s
pressure Georgia will not be able to speak the language of diplomacy
with Russia," the President stated.
