By empty (2/15/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Georgian lawmakers on Wednesday passed a resolution which calls for terminating the current peacekeeping operation in the zone of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict, but stopped short of setting the dates for the peacekeepers\' pullout. The parliament instructed the government to \"step up the efforts to work out a new format of peacekeeping operation in the zone of the South Ossetian conflict.\" It has to be replaced with a more effective international peacekeeping operation, Georgian lawmakers said.

The government was instructed to begin revision of the Dagomys agreement of June 24, 1992, which envisions the presence of Russian peacekeepers in the conflict zone. (Itar-Tass)
