TBILISI, February 6 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia should withdraw from the Commonwealth of Independent States, the twelve-nation post-Soviet alliance, the parliamentary faction Right Opposition said Monday.
Faction spokesman Mamuka Katsitadze said Georgia should withdraw from the CIA and focus on the West and NATO, but should also develop relations with Russia "on a good-neighborly basis."
After Georgia's recent withdrawal from the CIS Council of Defense Ministers, Russia still has serious ways of putting economic pressure on Georgia, he said.
"We do not want Georgian authorities to bargain on economic projects with Russia," Katsitadze said.
