Peacekeepers asked to go
Georgia said yesterday it would seek Western support to replace Russian peacekeepers in the breakaway province of Abkhazia with an international force, but NATO struck a cautious note.
"We plan to start intensive negotiations with countries that are Georgia's friends about the expediency of the Russian peacekeeping contingent's presence in the conflict zone," Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili told a meeting with foreign ambassadors.
