They prefer to call the walkout by the Georgian and Russian delegations a procedural snag. Special U.N. Representative to Georgia Johan Verbeke says no one should dramatize what happened today.
'What happened is what we call in French, 'un incident de parcours', a procedural incident, which had to be resolved,' he said. 'Rather than doing a quick-fix, which may leave us with other problems later in the day or later in the process, we better address them. And that is why we decided to take some breathing space to address those few procedural points which would be handled through consultations.'
One wonders if the "procedural snag" really is, or if it's the same sort of euphemism as the Russians are withdrawing from Georgia...
