All recent international parliamentary meetings were marked by Georgian representatives criticizing Russia and Russian peace-keepers in Abkhazia, said the Speaker. Meanwhile, Georgia is accusing Moscow of supporting this self-proclaimed republic of Abkhazia, once integrated in Georgia. "We have not heard however a single statement about what the Georgian leadership and parliament are doing to consolidate the statehood, to prevent the break-up of the country, to step up economic development and do away with unemployment and poverty," said the Speaker. Seleznyov believes that the Georgian authorities are seeking an external foe for distracting public opinion from internal problems. "NATO will hardly benefit the Georgian people - this policy has no future," said Seleznyov. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
