Georgian Side Refused to Meet with South Ossetian Representatives in Yerevan

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Georgian side refused to hold a sitting of the Mixed Control Commission on the settlement of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in Yerevan. According to first deputy to the South Ossetian Premier, South Ossetian Co-chair of the MCC Boris Chochiyev, the OSCE has issued an oral invitation on conduction of the MCC meeting in Yerevan January 24-25. "The South Ossetian side gave its consent. As far as I know, the North Ossetian and Russian members of the MCC agreed as well," he said.



At the same time Chochiyev underscored that according to the available data, Georgian state minister on conflict settlement Merab Antadze disagreed on the date and venue of the meeting. "You can eye the non-constructive position of the Georgian side," Chochiyev said. "I am sure Georgia will reconsider its stance since long breaks have a negative impact on the negotiation process," he resumed, reports IA Regnum.
