Ivanishvili's statement made me happy. I thought, yes, there are those progressive forces who are ready to go to a meeting with Russia, but after a few days, the secretary general of his party makes another statement that Russia should withdraw its military bases from South Ossetia and Abkhazia, - about this the so-called former leader of the occupied Tskhinvali region, Eduard Kokoity, said.
According to him, today Georgia is an enemy.
"Georgia is an enemy today, they do not sign a document with Abkhazia or South Ossetia. We are ready for peace, but before we sit down at the negotiating table, we must sign documents on the non-use of force. We have claims and we take the issue of Truso and Gudo valleys seriously, because these are our territories. These are simply territories that were ceded to the Georgian side. The former prime minister of Georgia said that they are ready to allocate 10 million euros for South Ossetia and Abkhazia and turn Sokhumi into a new Monaco. Let them turn their Georgia into Monaco, and we will sort it out together with Russia," said Kokoity.
