Georgia Accuses Russia Of Blackmailing Belarus

TBILISI, January 26 (GHN). Georgian lawmakers accuse Russia of blackmailing Belarus. The parliament of the country has announced that it will consider the recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia independence from Georgia soon. The issue is on the agenda on April 2.

Russia has been forcing Belarus to recognize Georgia`s breakaway regions since they were recognized by the Russian Federation.

Georgian MPs say it is an open blackmail and the Belarus should evade taking such a decision if the country wants to integrate into the European community.

`This country is under serious pressure and blackmail from Russia and if this country wants to join the international society and accept new western values, they should refuse to take such a decision,` Petre Tsiskarishvili, the leader of the parliamentary majority says.
