PACE receives pro-Georgian resolution as a result of Georgian cohabitation

Rezonansi reports that the day before yesterday the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) received a resolution about the humanitarian results of the Georgian-Russian war in 2088 despite the Russian delegation’s traditional resistance. Members of the Georgian delegation managed to achieve consensus on the issue and their joint position was reflected in the resolution on this very important issue. Georgian Dream member Irakli Chikovani told Rezonansi that Georgian parliamentary members from both the ruling and opposition parties had the same views about the issue and worked together. Hesitating to talk about the tactics of negotiating with colleagues from across the aisle he said the most important issues were included in the resolution including the return of IDPs to their homes, the implementation of monitoring of the occupied territories, and inevitability of following the six-point cease fire agreement as part of internationally agreed upon resolutions. “This is a very positive signal.” Chikovani said.
