French Ambassador: 'Borderization' Increases Risks of Destabilization

French Ambassador to Georgia Diego Colas has responded to the May 28 meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, where the issue of Russia's illegal actions in the occupied regions of Georgia was discussed.

“In view of the OSCE PC discussion, France wants to restate its position against ongoing 'borderization' activities along the ABL with the Georgian region of South Ossetia/Tsinkhvali region, risking destabilization and hardship for local populations”, the Ambassador tweeted.

The US Ambassador to OSCE James Gilmore said at the meeting: "There is no territory of South Ossetia. It is an occupied part of Georgia. That territory is Georgia’s territory. There is no border with South Ossetia. This is all Georgian territory."
