Georgia Refused to Sign Non-Aggression Pact with Abkhazia and South Ossetia

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that Georgia is not considering the possibility of signing a non-aggression pact with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. He stressed that Tbilisi does not intend to negotiate with Sukhum and Tskhinvali and recognize their independence. Kobakhidze reaffirmed Georgia's commitment to a peaceful path to restoring territorial integrity.

"Of course, we are not ready to sign a non-aggression pact. This is not serious for us. We are stating one simple thing: the only way to restore territorial integrity is a peaceful path. We are stating this, and there can be no talk of a document or agreement," Kobakhidze noted.

This statement contradicts the position of Abkhazian President Badra Gunba, who considers recognition of Abkhazia's independence and signing an agreement on the non-use of force necessary conditions for any dialogue with Georgia. At the same time, Gunba emphasized Abkhazia’s desire for peace and good neighborliness with Georgia.
