19:01 - 27.06.11
The Republic of Georgia has called on foreign countries to use the
English-language version of the country's name - Georgia - rather than
other versions.
Deputy Georgian Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze said Georgia has
already sent official requests to other countries over the issue.
`We took this initiative long ago, and have sent written requests to
several countries so that `Vrastan' [also Gruzia] be renamed into the
country's English version of `Georgia',' she was quoted as saying.
Kalandadze also said that South Korea has already responded to their
request, and the country is now referred to as `Georgia' there.
Further, she said that Georgiia will continue efforts to have all
countries use the English version of the country's name.
