Georgian State Minister for Conflict Resolution Issues Giorgi Khaindrava described the statement made by Defense Minister Irakli Okruashvili over South Ossetia’s reunification deadline as “unclear.”
Irakli Okruashvili said on May 1 that he will resign if Georgia fails to restore control over breakaway South Ossetian by January 1, 2007.
“Setting deadlines for resolution of this issue [South Ossetian conflict] is not realistic. This statement was made by Okruashvili and ask [referring to reporters] him about it. We have a peace plan and I am guided by this peace plan,” Giorgi Khaindrava told reporters on May 2.
