Such approaches by the official Tbilisi are more akin to "political myopia" and the unwillingness to see and accept reality, the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry has noted, commenting on a statement by the Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Khatuna Totladze, who took part in a discussion regarding a report by the International Court of Justice.
Totladze touched upon the issues concerning South Ossetia and Abkhazia, while continuing to employ a tendentious approach in her assessment of the actual state of affairs, the Foreign Ministry emphasized.
"By repeating the standard rhetoric about the so-called occupation of the 'Georgian territories' and expressing concern over 'serious human rights violations caused by Russia’s illegal occupation of the Abkhazian and Tskhinvali regions of Georgia,' Ms. Totladze offered nothing new, simply placing the responsibility on the Russian Federation," the Ministry has stated.
Taking advantage of their unrestricted access to international forums, the Georgian authorities continue to broadcast biased and non-objective information to the international community, while completely disregarding their own direct responsibility, the Ministry added.
"It is regrettable that the Georgian leadership, as represented by its foreign policy agency, continues to maintain such unconstructive positions," the Ministry concluded.
