TBILISI. Dec 2 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian peacekeepers have breached accords by letting "armed units" hold exercises in South Ossetia, Georgian Minister for Separatist Conflicts Giorgi Khaindrava said on Thursday.
"Exercises by armed units of the separatist authorities in the Java district of South Ossetia contradict the recent Sochi agreements on stabilization in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone. First of all, we demand an answer from Russia, which is a party to the Sochi agreements and the main intermediary in the conflict settlement," he said.
"In conformity with legal documents on the conflict settlement, the Joint Peacekeeping Force should not have allowed military exercises by separatists in the Java district," Khaindrava said.
Tbilisi is actively working on the problem in cooperation with European institutions and the United States, he said.
