This would be in no one\'s interests,\" Nogaideli said. \"The peacekeeping operation can have only one result - ultimate settlement of the conflict, and the restoration of regional peace and Georgia\'s territorial integrity,\" he said. \"The international community has no other viewpoints on this issue,\" the Georgian prime minister said.
