Russia is skeptical about Georgia's calls for dialogue

Moscow is skeptical about the statement of Georgian President  Mikheil Saakashvili's readiness to begin a dialogue with Russia, that he made in his parliamentary speech, said today the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich, RIA Novosti reports.

According to him, this is not the first statement by the President of Georgia about the desire to improve relations with Russia. "I think that such statements can hardly be taken seriously because they are always accompanied and followed by coarse anti-Russian rhetoric and confrontational, non-diplomatic attacks on Russia. ... Suffice it to recall his statement on the recently launched channel “The First Information Caucasian”, where he explicitly called Russia an enemy with whom he is forced to have a dialogue, and a famous interview The Independent,” the diplomat said.
