July 11, 2006 -- Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has accused Russia of trying to annex Georgian territory through the continued deployment of its peacekeepers in two breakaway regions.


Saakashvili said on July 11 that the Georgian parliament should soon rule on the presence of the peacekeepers.
