Russia doesn't trust Saakashvili's statement

President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili recently delivered a speech to the European Parliament. Addressing Russia from the tribune of the European Parliament, the Georgian President said Georgia had already made its choice against the former Soviet regime, but tanks would remain part of history. "It's time to end the prolonged and harmful era of imperialism with peace, thus I would like to encourage the Russian government to make a choice for the future!"

The Russian government is sceptical about Mikheil Saakashvili's peaceful initiative. According to information released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, there have been no official requests from Saakashvili and so they have nothing to discuss with the Georgian President. According to information published by RIA Novosti, Russian officials don't trust President Saakashvili.
