Georgia’s ready to cooperate with Russia after recognition of sovereignty

According to David Jagalania, the deputy Foreign Minister of Georgia, Tbilisi has repeatedly claimed readiness for a dialog, but only after recognition of "territorial integrity and sovereignty" of Georgia by Russia - RosBalt.  

"Georgia wanted to have good-neighbourly relations with Russia both before August war of 2008 and after it," he noted.

Russia recognized independency of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in August 26th 2008. Prior to it Georgia drew troops in South Ossetia on August 8th 2008. In result of this military aggression the capital of South Ossetia, Tskhinval, was nearly fully ruined, over 200 civilians and peacekeepers were killed. In response Russia conducted a peace enforcement operation to protect Russian citizens.
