A Sunday statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry commenting on the interrupted gas and power supplies to Georgia has been strongly criticized by Georgian Speaker Nino Burjanadze. The Georgian authorities are indignant at the ministry statement, Burjanadze said. \"The Russian Foreign Ministry\'s use of such words as hysteria and bacchanalia is outrageous, especially if they are applied to pronouncements by the president of a sovereign state,\" the speaker said on the Ekho Moskvy radio on Sunday. \"Russian policy does not deserve respect. The Foreign Ministry of any normal country would have condemned acts of sabotage perpetrated on its territory and the termination of power and heating supplies in the severe winter season. Criticism would also have been possible, but it should have been more or less civilized,\" Burjanadze said. (Interfax)
