Parliament Vice Speaker: Georgian demand of Russian troops’ withdrawal remains in force

The Georgian Government will not take back its demand of withdrawal of Russian occupation troops from the country’s occupied territories, Archil Talakvadze, the Vice Speaker of the Parliament, said on Tuesday.

Talakvadze made the comment in response to a question on whether the Government would make a statement demanding the occupation troops are withdrawn, following a similar request by the Government of Moldova made last week.

Russian soldiers and military units are on the territory of Georgia illegally. We signed the ceasefire agreement after the 2008 war, which provided for the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of Georgia,” the Parliament official said.
