Russian News Agency Tass reports that the leader of the oppositional party Democratic Movement – United Georgia, Nino Burjanadze has apologized for the anti-Russian provocation that took place during a session of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy in the Georgian parliament’s building last summer.

I’m not afraid of apologizing for that absolutely outrageous incident. I’m sorry for interrupting you, but I will not let you finish your phrase until I’ve presented my apologies, because I believe that it was a disgrace for the Georgian people and the Georgian state in the first place, Burjanadze said at a meeting with the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Russia’s Federation Council, Konstantin Kosachyov.
