ALMATY. March 1 (Interfax-AVN) - Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze told an informal CIS summit here on Friday that the situation in his country worries him very much,.
Sources quote him as effectively confirming that rebels may have infiltrated Pankisi gorge.
Shevardnadze explained that Georgia does not have anti- terrorist units, which is why he had to invite foreign advisers.
Russian political figures have overreacted to reports on possible arrival of U.S. advisers in Georgia, the sources quote Shevardnadze as saying. This sharp reaction makes a negative impact on stability in Georgia, he said.
