De-facto authority "official" : There will be no war

Georgia's provocative actions at the "borders of South Ossetia" are just an attempt by the Georgian authorities to divert their population's attention from acute domestic problems, Maria Kotayeva, head of the “state committee on information and press” of de-facto authorities, said on Friday.

“Georgia is still dreaming of returning the territories of" South Ossetia "and Abkhazia, but no one will try to repeat the desperate actions of President Saakashvili," Kotaeva said at a briefing.

"There will be no war - Georgia will no longer attack South Ossetia. Our borders with the Russian Federation are protected by serious agreements, according to which aggression against South Ossetia is seen as aggression against Russian troops deployed here, "Kotayeva said.

She noted that Georgia's president was inconsistent in his promises.

"She has an inner aspiration for the return of" South Ossetia "and Abkhazia, as her grandfather worked for the Menshevik government and made a personal contribution to the Ossetian genocide. At the same time, she is also trying to establish ties with Russia. Georgia is a very unreliable partner in the international arena, ”Maria Kotayeva said.
