    Georgia rules out renewal of ties with Russia

    The Georgian authorities have ruled out the possibility of renewing
    diplomatic ties with the Russia Federation under a parliament decision
    adopted unanimously last week.

    The document, addressing Georgia's key foreign policy trends, also
    reaffirms the country's commitment to continue the NATO and EU
    integration efforts, Rosbalt.ru reported.


    It highlights the need for `creating security guarantees, protecting
    Georgia's independence and re-establishing the country's territorial
    integrity in accordance with internationally accepted standards'.

    The document refers to the United States as a military ally with which
    Georgia is expected to develop relations based on a 2008 Military
    Partnership Charter.

    But it actually bans the country from resuming the relations with
    Russia. `Georgia cannot have diplomatic relations with states which
    recognize the independence of the Abkhazia and Tskhinvali [South
    Ossetia] regions,' reads the decision.
