Israeli Ambassador: Cooperation with Georgia Continues

Ambassador of Israel to Georgia Shabtai Tsur told RIA Novosti  news agency that “the matter of selling Israeli military equipment to Georgia never was an issue during Israel-Russia talks. Cooperation between Israel and Georgia is developing successfully in all directions and this cooperation will continue.”

The Ambassador’s comments follow a publication in Russian news sources which claim that Russia has pledged not to sell weapons to Syria in exchange for Israel freezing its military cooperation with Georgia.
