US Senators John McCain and Joe Liberman sent a letter to president Obama prior to his departure to the Russian Federation. In it, the senators address the US president to express their concern about a series of recent actions by the Government of Russia that were undermining the fragile peace and stability of the South Caucasus region.
The senators review the recent developments in the region and express their concern about the suspension of the OSCE and UN missions to Georgia.
`Russia`s deliberate dismantlement of the conflict resolution and monitoring machinery is made all the more disturbing when coupled with Moscow`s failure to comply with the terms of the agreements it reached with the international community in the wake of its August 2008 war with Tbilisi...We hope that you will express grave concerns about Russia`s provocative and destabilizing actions when you see President Medvedev next week and make clear America`s support for the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia. We believe that it is extremely important for president Medvedev to recognize that initiating or provoking further military action between Russia and Georgia in the months ahead would serve Russia`s self-interest. We also hope tat you will street to president Medvedev the importance that he honor the agreements that he made last year and cooperate with the international community to ensure UN and OSCE observers can once again operate throughout Georgia, including Abkhazia and South Ossetia,` the letter said.
