/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yesterday Russian President Vladimir Putin held a
conferred with permanent members of the Russian Security Council,
during which much attention was paid to latest developments in
the Russian-Georgian relations. "In spite of Russian consistently
fulfilling all agreements that we have over withdrawal of our military
units from the territory of the Republic, as it is known, our military
are caught and thrown into prisons. This is a sign of succession of
Laurenty Beria’s policy both within the country and the international
arena. It is obvious that they are trying to provoke Russia and those,
who do it, probably believe it fits the interests of the Georgian
people. I do not think it is so. These people believe that under the
roof of foreign sponsors they will feel comfortable and secure. Is
it true indeed? There are, perhaps, forces creating new crises,
believing it will divert attention from old problems. In the short
run it may have an effect. However, it will not help solving old and
rather serious crises in the world," Putin said.
Owing to the actions of the Georgian leaders, the Russian President
intends to hold consultations with political parties, represented in
the State Duma, and leaders of the Council of the Federation next week.
Putin ordered the Defense Ministry, in spite of the situation,
continue withdrawal of Russian Armed Forces from Georgia according
to the schedule, Kremlin Press Office reports.
