Shevardnadze to raise issue of Russian peacekeepers' withdrawal in case of military action - speaker

(it's amazing how these boarder disputes have a fractal like character. Russia bullies Georgia who bullies Abkhazia...pb)

Interfax. Thursday, Sep. 12, 2002, 7:38 PM Moscow Time

TBILISI. Sept 12 (Interfax)- In the event that Russia launches a military operation against Georgia, including bombing that country's territory, President Eduard Shevardnadze will raise the issue of Russian peacekeepers being withdrawn from the Georgia-Abkhazia conflict area, according to Georgian parliamentary speaker Nino Burdzhanadze.
The speaker said that the president outlined this position at a National Security Council session on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin strongly urged Georgia's authorities to put an end to rebel sorties into Russia and warned that otherwise, Russia will exercise the rights envisioned in a UN Charter article stipulating the right to use self defense.
Burdzhanadze said that the National Security Council decided to intensify the anti-criminal operation in the Pankisi Gorge and to finish it as soon as possible.
The speaker indicated that the National Security Council issued instructions to Foreign Minister Irakly Menagarishvili, who is currently in New York. He is due to address the UN Security Council session and provide an explanation why no progress has been achieved towards normalizing Georgia-Russia relations.
Burdzhanadze said that according to Shevardnadze, no telephone conversations took place between the Russian and U.S. presidents, and Georgia "will not fall victim to deals between these two countries."
The speaker noted that the National Security Council expressed readiness to continue contacts with Russia at all levels
