/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Several months ago Georgia applied to CIS member
countries through the CIS Secretariat to preserve its participation
in several multilateral agreements, especially with Azerbaijan,

said on Tuesday.
According to him, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry had received
Georgia's proposals and they were forwarded to the corresponding state
agencies. "Georgia will be informed as soon as we receive any answers,"
Polukhov said.
He said that there are both bilateral and multilateral agreements
between Georgia and Azerbaijan.
The official procedure of Georgia's leaving CIS membership will be
completed on August 18, the Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister, David
Jalagania, said a briefing on August 17.
The Georgian Foreign Ministry informed the CIS about the parliamentary
decision to leave the organization by sending an official diplomatic
note on August 18, 2008. Georgia's formal leaving-taking from the
organization lasts 12 months according to the CIS charter. Therefore,
the official procedure will be completed on August 19.
