Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said the main result of his recent U.S. visit was the unambiguous support for Georgia\'s territorial integrity voiced by U.S. leaders during his meetings. \"These statements were made against the backdrop of talk on dismembering Georgia\'s territory in Russia, but the position of the U.S. president carries more weight,\" Saakashvili said at a news briefing on Tuesday. The U.S. leaders made these statements \"for Georgia\'s neighbors to hear them,\" he said. The Georgian leadership invited Russia to have a meeting following the G8 summit \"to decide once and for all the settlement of the conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia,\" he said. \"We will not allow the annexation of our territories, and the Georgian parliament will make a decision on a peacekeeping operation in Abkhazia. We will resolve the conflicts, we hope, together with Russia or without it,\" Saakashvili said. Georgia wants to resolve these conflicts peacefully, but \"this process cannot continue endlessly,\" he said. (Interfax)
