The resolution instructs the Georgian government to annul all treaties based on which Russian peacekeeping forces have been deployed in the South Ossetian and Abkhaz conflict zones over the past decade. There are two basic agreements: one in respect of Abkhazia – the 1994 Moscow agreement on ceasefire and separation of forces - and another relating to South Ossetia – the 1992 Dagomis Agreement (also known as the Sochi Agreement).
The resolution, which is non-binding, also instructs “the executive government to cut diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation.” MP Zhvania explained to lawmakers that in accordance with international convention, a state that cuts diplomatic relations can have a third country represent its interests in the affected country – in Georgia's case, Russia.
