Sergey Lavrov – Geneva Negotiation must be Concentrated on Security issues in Caucasus

Negotiation planned to be held on November 18 must be concentrated on security issues in Caucasus region. ‘Ria Novosti’ informs that Russian federation foreign minister Sergey Lavrov stated about it.
Lavrov called for EU states to take bilateral actions to regulate conflict.
‘Our position is clear: if we want to review ways of security provision, to review issues that will solve conditions of returning refugees, we must stop speaking about determining status and cancel all procedural issues’, - Lavrov stated in interview delivered to radio ‘Ekho Moskvi’.
Russian minister says that if all these are proved, we can consider that working groups created by agreement of Medvedev-Sarkozy will start to work in peace. The group was created to provide security and conditions to return the refugees.
Russian delegation will be headed by foreign minister deputy assistant Grigori Karasin on Geneva negotiations. Karasin stated that Russian delegation has practical, constructive proposal for Geneva negotiations.
He considers that all participants of the discussion, representatives of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as well, will feel comfortably in Geneva.
