25.08.2008 | ZDF-Mittagsmagazin

In an interview with ZDF Alexander Rahr commented on the latest intensification of the Georgian Crisis. Rahr is convinced that president Medvedev will accept the motion of the Russian parliament to support the independence bid of the two Georgian breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states. For Rahr a reunification of the separatist republics with Georgia is exluded. Rahr stands up f or an active engagement of the West in the discussion on Georgia’s future. Russia shouldn’t be allowed to determine the situation on her own. Rahr considers the form of a Georgian confederation to be a conceivable solution of the conflict.
