Saakashvili Ready to Resume Dialogue with Russia
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili stated he is ready to resume a dialogue with Russia at all levels. "I am ready to send Foreign Minister Bejuashvili to Moscow for participation in the meeting of the FMs of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization on November 1. I am ready to meet with the Russian President at any time," Saakashvili told a news conference on Thursday.

He underscored that he will take part in the upcoming summit of the CIS leaders, since Georgia doesn't refuse from using public rostrums. "We will use all the rostrums and will not refuse from dialogues. We are not going to boost confrontation artificially," Saakashvili said. At that the Georgian President underscored that process of compiling a suit against Russia to the International Court of Human Rights over mass deportation of Georgians is coming to an end.
