Tbilisi to host discussions on Russian-Georgian conflict

The Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association will host public discussions on the topic "inter-state disputes between Russia and Georgia in connection with the mass deportation of Georgian citizens from Russia" at 18.30 on March 16.

The discussions will be attended by experts from the Justice Ministry and the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs.

"Public discussions" are a new initiative of the Foundation for the Support of the Legal Education, within which it is planned to hold discussions every month on current educational topics urgent for the public.

Military actions were launched in the unrecognized republic of South Ossetia in August 2008. Georgian troops entered Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia and later Russian troops occupied the city and drove the Georgian military back to Georgia. Russia recognized the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia on Aug. 26 and established diplomatic relations with them on Sept. 9, 2008. Georgia's autonomous regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia unilaterally declared independence from Georgia after the August 2008 war.
