    SOUTH OSSETIAN SCENARIO MUST NOT BE REPEATED IN OTHER FROZEN CONFLICT ZONES

    Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has said that everything should
    be done to avoid repeating the South Ossetian scenario in other frozen
    conflict zones.

    "We should do everything to avoid such a scenario in other frozen
    conflict zones," he said at a joint press conference with Romanian
    President Traian Basescu in Kyiv on Wednesday.

    He listed Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, and Transdniestria among
    such zones.

    Yushchenko recalled that Ukraine does not recognize the military
    solution of conflicts. "We should make it very clear that we support
    the territorial integrity of any state," he said.

    He said Ukraine and Romania share the same approach to the settlement
    of the Georgian situation. He noted that the recognition of Georgia's
    territorial integrity should become a key principle.

    The president voiced concern over the slow implementation of the
    Russian-Georgian peace agreements, including the withdrawal of Russian
    troops from Georgia.

    Basescu, in turn, said the conflict should be settled on the basis
    of the peace plan proposed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. He
    was also concerned that after the war in South Ossetia other frozen
    conflicts "will be unfrozen and have negative effects."

    In his opinion, Black Sea countries and EU nations must develop new
    mechanisms to resolve problems in conflict zones.
