Acting Georgian President Nino Burdjanadze on 28 November participated with leading Russian politicians in a televised discussion on ORT of Georgian-Russian relations. Asked by Unified Energy Systems (EES) head and Union of Rightist Forces (SPS) co-Chairman Anatolii Chubais whether she agrees that Russia should play a larger role in Georgian affairs, Burdjanadze said that, in view of the difficult economic situation in Georgia, Russia could help by writing off Georgian debts for energy supplies. Chubais responded that there can be no talk of writing off debts, but he would consider restructuring or rescheduling them.Visit also
