Georgian ambassador to the OSCE has assessed the statement of the Russian ambassador to the organization Anvar Azimov useless. Paata Gaprindashvili says the request to involve Abkhaz and South Ossetian sides in the OSCE discussions is yet another attempt from Russia to avoid fulfilment of obligations taken within ceasefire agreement signed after war in August 2008.

Anvar Azimov has said that Sokhumi and Tshinvali puppet regimes should be given a possibility to join the discussions and voice their positions in the organization themselves, because the OSCE is one of the moderators of the Geneva international talks and tries to take the status of an `honest` broker in South Caucasus.
