It’s unlikely that there’ll be a major breakthrough in these relations in the foreseeable future – this will most likely take months, but we hope not years. Most importantly, we hope there will not be new provocations – Konstantin Kosachev, Chairman of the International Committee of the Russian Parliament said after the meeting with members of Georgian Patriots Alliance being on a visit in Moscow.

Kosachev said he believed that what happened in the Georgian Parliament and on Georgian television was a pure provocation aimed at disrupting the normalization of Georgia-Russia relations. “In order for this to happen, there’s a lot to be done and we can’t expect miracles,” Kosachev said.

George Lomia, Chairman of the Patriots of Georgia agreed: “We discussed a number of possible solutions for overcoming the crisis. We won’t discuss it now, because those opposed to good relations between Georgia and Russia will try to thwart these plans. Friendship with Russia is very important for us. We will meet more than once to discuss the issues. It takes time for all this to be resolved,” Lomaia said.
