Russia continues to distance itself from the murder of Archil Tatunashvili. The statement released by the Russian Foreign Ministry says that during the negotiations the Georgian side tried to turn Archt Tatunashvili murder into the discussion center and accused Russia of the death of a Georgian citizen, which is unacceptable. The Russian side hoped that negotiations would be far better for them.

"Despite the promising statement of the Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Tbilisi representatives held a meeting as a propaganda rally," the statement of the Foreign Ministry said.
