They would have a lot more credibility if they were followed up by actually withdrawing from Georgia’s occupied territories. Such a statement made today the US Ambassador to Georgia, while commenting the statement of Russia Foreign Miniter.

“Georgians have heard the statements from the Kremlin many times. They would have a lot more credibility if they were followed up by actually withdrawing from Georgia’s occupied territories and reversing the recognition of Tskhinvali and Abkhazia and actually following through on the obligations that Russia committed to in 2008.

So, it seems to me that until Georgians see some credible moves, concrete moves regarding the occupied territories, the statements that come from the Kremlin do not carry a lot of weight”, - said KelLy Degnan.
