Georgian Prime Minister’s special representative for relations with Russia, Zurab Abashidze in an interview given to RIA Novosti declared that Georgia is considering new forms and possibilities of dialogue with Abkhazia and South Ossetia and would welcome Moscow's efforts to contribute to the establishment of direct contact with them.
Abashidze declared that if Russia really would establish direct contact with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, then the Gerogian side is ready for some time to put aside the questions concerning the status and start the discussion of more concrete questions – humanitarian, economic, business, education, health, water, gas. "Let’s move these common red lines aside and start with human problems," – said Abashidze.
