Saakashvili ready for dialogue with Russia
Russia “has occupied Georgian territory,” nevertheless, we should start a dialogue with Russia, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili told TV5 Monde French TV Channel, according to RBK.ru. Saakashvili is in Montreux, Switzerland for the 13th Francophonie summit.
“We are ready for a dialogue, for talks without preconditions. We should resolve all problems through direct contacts. We are pragmatic, thus we realize that it is very dangerous to have a hostile neighbor. We should maintain dialogue with Russia. It is the first step. It should be followed by the second step which is necessary for changing the situation,” Saakashvili said.
