/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recognition of Kosovo’s independence
will arouse ambitions in other separatists regions,
including Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Council of
Europe Secretary General Terry Davis told Georgian TV
channels in Strasbourg.
`I do not rule out that the leaders of Abkhazia and
South Ossetia will be invited to the Council of Europe
to represent their positions. All forms of dialogue
should be used for resolution of conflicts,’ he said.
For his part, President of unrecognized republic of
South Ossetia Eduard Koykoty intends to propose
Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili to open direct
talks. He also said he will request the leadership of
Russia and the OSCE to assist in organization of talks
on the following chapters: demilitarization of
conflict zones and establishment of trust between the
sides, economic rehabilitation and political status of
South Ossetia, Deutsche Welle reports.
