Belarus' Lukashenko urges Georgia to re-join CIS

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has called for Georgia’s re-accession to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), RIA Novosti reports.

The president said he will go down on his knees begging the new Georgian authorities to re-join the body.

However, as Russia Today reported earlier, the new Georgian authorities are not considering the republic’s return to the CIS.

"This issue is not on the agenda of the new Georgian administration," Ivanishvili’s advisor Georgy Khukhashvili told Interfax.
