Georgia addresses reality of Ossetia / Abkhazia

The wrangling over the remnants of Georgia is continuing in that country's new approach to the breakaway regions.
As RIA Novosti reports, the Georgian government has adopted a new strategy toward S. Ossetia and Abkhazia which excludes any use of military force against its former breakaway regions.

The document, which calls for peaceful means of conflict resolution and increased cooperation with the residents of the two regions, will be sent in the near future to a number of international organizations, including the UN, the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

"Georgia does not want to restore its territorial integrity by military means," Reintegration Minister Temur Yakobashvili told reporters after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

He said Georgian citizens who reside in Abkhazia and South Ossetia should not be isolated but instead integrated in all processes and projects which are underway in Georgia.
