Sarkozy says Russia must withdraw in Georgia deal

None

Russia must withdraw from all major towns in Georgia under a peace accord it has signed, despite conditions authorizing, "Additional security measures," according to a letter sent by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to Georgian leader Mikheil Saakashvili.

 

"As I specified at our joint press conference in Tbilisi, these 'additional security measures' can only be implemented in the immediate proximity of South Ossetia to the exclusion of any other part of Georgian territory," read the letter, made public by Sarkozy's office on Sunday. (Reuters)
