/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia, Moldova and the U.S. demand Russia to stop
aid to "separatist regimes." In the OSCE Standing Council in Vienna
the missions of these countries to the OSCE called on Russia to stop
financial aid to "separatist regimes and join the projects serving the
economic development of the regions under the control of international
organizations." According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
European Integration of Moldova, GUAM and the U.S. expressed their
concern about Russia’s activity in Transdniestria, South Ossetia and
Abkhazia. "Officially receiving the leaders of unrecognized republics
in Moscow, holding negotiations with them as presidents contradict
Russia’s status as mediator that has to be bias in the conflicts,"
the statement says. Georgia, Moldova and the U.S. said that they
do not understand Russia’s position with regard to the referenda
and elections organized by Tiraspol, Tskhinvali and Sukhumi regimes,
controlling over the violation of human rights and freedoms. The GUAM
and the U.S. stressed the importance of Russia’s withdrawing it troops
and weapons from Moldova and Georgia according to the commitments
undertaken in Istanbul summit of OSCE in 1999, reports APA.
