James Appathurai - NATO calls on Russia for pullout of its forces from Georgia’s territory

NATO calls on Russia for pullout of its forces from Georgia’s territory – James Appathurai, NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia wrote on Facebook.

“For 12 years, Russian troops have remained present illegally on the 20% of Georgia’s territory. Consequently, thousands of Georgians are left evicted from their homes and land. NATO continues recognition of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders and calls on Russia for fulfillment of its international commitments and pullout of its forces from Georgia’s territory,” Appathurai said.
