Russia Agrees to Withdraw from Georgia Proper
James Joyner | September 09, 2008Russia has agreed, in a deal brokered by an EU delegation headed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, to completely withdraw its troops from Georgia's heartland within a month. It made no commitment with respect to the breakaway provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which it has recognized as independent states. Indeed, President Dmitri Medvedev declared, standing next to Sarzozy, "As for recognition, for us that issue is closed. From the point of view of international law, for us two new states have appeared"
Sarkozy vowed, "Europe will be very vigilant on the realisation of the agreement we have reached with President Medvedev. If this agreement is applied as I hope and as I believe, we will have avoided deaths, misery and suffering."
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili offered what Reuters correspondent Francois Murphy termed "cautious approval," stating, "I think tonight a step forward was made, a step forward on the path towards the full implementation of the six points negotiated by President Sarkozy on August 12."
