Georgian Ambassador in Sofia Mikheil Ukleba announced Monday that the Georgian Parliament was going to approve a new law about the occupied territories listing the Russian army as invaders.

According to Ukleba, international organizations needed to take a firm stand regarding the conflict in the area in addition to the needed international evaluation of the damage.

"Russia invaded the entire Georgia and Georgians have been robbed. Russia is not allowing reporters, diplomats and Red Cross representatives in the conflict area. Russia was preparing for this military action during the last six months. All efforts were focused on interfering with Georgia becoming a NATO member while 70% of the Georgians supports NATO membership. The operation further aims at weakening the positions of the Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili plus creating obstacles for the alternative energy routes since Russia currently has the monopoly on this market," the Ambassador stated.

Ukleba is also of the opinion that Russia is now in international isolation and is supported only by Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
