Tsikhelashvili underlined the importance of the consolidated report of the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe on the conflict in Georgia.
"For the international community the report of the Secretary-General is the main source of information about the conflicts in Georgia. Therefore it is extremely important to provide the Council of Europe with detailed information about these issues. Our interest is stability. A peaceful resolution of conflicts is a prerequisite for stability. But this does not mean that we want to stabilize the status quo, which is associated with a variety of security and humanitarian challenges ", - said Tsikhelashvili.
