    GEORGIA TO QUIT CIS AUGUST 18, 2009

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia will formally quit the Commonwealth of
    Independent States (CIS) on August 18, 2009, said Nauryz Aydarov,
    deputy chairman of the CIS executive committee.

    "The committee has already launched the essential procedure," he said.

    Georgia notified (on August 18, 2008) the CIS executive organs
    of the unanimous decision of its parliament to leave the regional
    organization, and according to the CIS Charter (sec. 1, art. 9) this
    decision will come into force 12 months after the notification date.

    The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a regional organization
    whose participating countries are former Soviet Republics. The
    organization was founded on December 8, 1991 by Belarus, Russia,
    and Ukraine, when the leaders of the three countries signed an
    agreement on the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the creation
    of CIS as a successor entity to the USSR. On December 21, 1991,
    the leaders of eight additional former Soviet Republics - Armenia,
    Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan,
    and Uzbekistan - joined the Creation Agreement, thus bringing the
    number of participating countries to 11. Georgia joined two years
    later, in December 1993.
