Georgia: Saakashvili Addresses Breakaway Regions · Global Voices

Steady State comments on a televised address given by Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili to inhabitants of the country's two breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. However, the blog says that apart from at times of clashes, there is little actual dialogue occurring between the sides and that Saakashvili fails to understand one important reality. That is, that Abkhazians and South Ossetians show no sign of wanting to be reintegrated back into Georgia.
