German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for a summit of Georgia’s
neighbors following the country’s recent conflict with Russia,
independent French correspondent Jean Eckian informed referring to
the Deutsche Welle.
Russia itself was not on the list of countries envisaged by Merkel –
which included Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan – but no country
should be excluded from participation, the spokesman said.
"It’s up to the French presidency of the EU to decide if this
conference will take place, as well as when and who will be invited,"
spokesman Thomas Steg said.
Berlin reckons the theme of the summit should be "reconstruction
and stability in Georgia and the region," the German government
spokesman said.
