15:48 - 06.10.11
French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to the South Caucasus signals
the importance of the region for Europe, world-famous chess player
Garry Kasparov has said.
"Sarkozy managed to stop the war in the Caucasus in good time, but
because of western politicians' inconsistence, the world community
failed to enforce the August 12, 2008 ceasefire agreement between the
[conflicting] parties," Aspny.ge website quoted the grandpamster as
saying.
Kasparov, who is a well-known opposition figure in Russia, said the
west is working towards the implementation of the agreement
notwithstanding Russia's policies.
"That could imply that Sarkozy's visit is important for the region as
there would be a possibility to know about new initiatives," Kasparov
said.
The Georgian authorities have announced numerously that Russia fails
to comply with the clauses of the agreement siged after the short war
in 2008.
The ceasefire agreement between Russia and Georgia was signed with the
mediation of French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
