The OSCE PA General Committee on Political Affairs and Security adopted the 17-point draft resolution on “Conflict in Georgia”.

The supplementary item to the draft resolution was introduced by the Speaker of Georgian Parliament, Mr. David Usupashvili.

After adoption, the Speaker made the comment to media.

“The OSCE PA General Committee on Political Affairs and Security voted and supported the draft resolution initiated by us on conflicts in Georgia, clearly underlining all the problems we encounter and calling everything their names – Russian occupation, the problems Georgia encounters and the draft resolution, 57 member states and OSCE PA call on all the countries, all international organizations to strictly adhere to the principles of international law, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia. Russia shall fulfill the EU-mediated Cease-Fire Agreement of August, 2008 and let the IDPs return to their homes, shall withdraw the armed formations from these territories and reject declaration and recognition of the regions of Georgia as the independent states.

As the Delegates supporting Georgia, noted during the debates, the document is unprecedented to be clear and it would be further balanced but all unanimously supported the document except the Russian Delegation. It was no surprise for us as the document states to 56 world countries to observe the standards that shall be adhered. It is a very important document. Such resolutions create the reality on international theatre, which shall be solved in our favor.

The document is initiated by us but with cooperation by all OSCE PA Delegations – from majority and minority. We all together worked on the document and it is a good example that when all the political forces stand united on the international arena, the results will be much easier and productive”.
