08 August 2007 09:51 (UTC +04:00)

â€œWe are informed about the attack on Georgia and definitely denounce this. We are committed to support the territorial integrity and sovereignty,â€ said Matthew Bryza, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. He said that Washington cannot say who stands behind he attack on Georgiaâ€™s sovereign territory.
â€œBut we have no ground to say that Georgia has fired at itself. There is no single evidence to proof this version,â€ the US senior official said.
The US diplomat criticized Russia for making such statements warning these might strain the relations with Georgia and hinder the solution of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict.
Bryza did not forget to appraise Georgia for its position.
â€œGeorgiaâ€™s answer is welcoming, and that is what is needed for the solution of the South Ossetia conflict diplomatically. We hope everyone will be moderate like Georgia,â€ he said. /APA/
