Georgia today left the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of CIS Member
Nations. With this move, the South Caucasus country, once and for all,
breaks its ties with the Commonwealth of Independent States, reports
Interfax news agency.

On August 12, 2008, after the start of the South-Ossetia war, Georgian
President Mikheil Saakashvili announced that the country would leave
the CIS.
