«I once again want to pay your attention, that the georgian side continues to ignore the arrangements, accepted by it in the zone of the conflict: the articles 17 and 18 of the Appendix №1 of the Protocol of JCC №7 from December, 6th, 1994, and also the article 42 of the Provision about the Group of military observers and the Joint peacekeeping forces in the Commonwealth of Independent States (the Decision of the Inter-parliamentary Assembly from October, 29th, 1994), and to keep illegally two military men of the Peacemaking Forces from the Republic of North Ossetia-Аlania, seized in the zone of the georgian-ossetian conflict on August, 29th, 2007 by the power structures of Georgia », informs the assistant of the commander of JPKF on work with mass-media the lieutenant colonel Juriy Vereshchak.
«The results of the tripartite monitoring, held on August, 27th, 2007 with the participation of the Mission of OSCE on the fact of detention of the citizens of Georgia (Galegashvili, Kvaratskhelia, Broladze) confirm that the military men of the Peacemaking Forces did not take part in their detention. It has been documentary recorded in the official report, signed by all the parties, including the military observer from Georgia and the representative of the Mission of OSCE. The georgian side knows about it, but in spread by it statements it is not already mentioned, as well as that the question is of the military men of the Peacemaking Forces, thus the really occurred picture is distorted. The Command of JPKF insists on the immediate release of the military men of JPKF, carrying out a Peace-making Mission, illegally kept by the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia», is spoken in the message of the Joint Staff of JPKF.
