Temur Iakobashvili, Minister for Reintegration of Georgia, sees Russia's demand to sign a legally binding non-aggression treaty with Abkhazia and South Ossetia as inappropriate.
"It's like demanding Russia to sign the similar agreement with Tatarstan," he said in the course of TV bridge from Tbilisi.

He expressed hope that Russia "won't impede but rather support" the new strategy of Georgia in regard to the two regions.

He also noted that Russia "doesn't implement Medvedev-Sarkozy plan and continues occupation of the two republics."

Recently, government of Georgia endorsed strategic concept in regard to Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

The document is entitled "Inclusion via cooperation".

Iakobashvili, State Minister for Reintegration and Vice PM introduced it and said the document in detail describes Georgia's events in regard to Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Iakobashvili said that Georgia refuses its isolation.

"Our citizens are there, they must be included in educational, cultural, social project, being implemented in Georgia," the State Minister said.
