Saakashvili accuses Moscow from UN floor
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili used the UN floor on Thursday to accuse Moscow of terrorism and reiterate the claims that Russia occupies Georgian territories.
"Unfortunately, instead of dialogue, the response... has come in the form of a dozen terrorist acts targeting Georgia - attacks directly organized and supervised, as it is well confirmed by different international actors - by officers of the Russian secret services," Saakashvili told the UN General Assembly.
He also said that Russia uses "embargo, blackmail and brutal dictates" against Ukraine, Moldova or Belarus.
In his speech Saakashvili also spoke how the Rose Revolution brought into power in Georgia "young reformers" who immediately launched reforms and despite of "mistakes" achieved "astonishing results", making "greatest progress on Transparency International corruption index since 2003 than any other state in the world" and becoming "one of the easiest places in the world to do business."
