The Russian Foreign Ministry says that Georgia\'s actions do not fully comply with an agreement on checkpoints in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict region. \"According to several reports, the Georgian side is not completely following the agreements reached on June 2 this year in Tskhinvali during a meeting of the chairmen of the Joint Monitoring Committee. The Georgian checkpoints, the presence of which was not approved by the Joint Monitoring Committee, are still present in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone,\" says a Foreign Ministry statement.

New representatives of the Georgian security forces are arriving,\" the statement says. \"These actions also go against the content of the joint statement of the Russian and Georgian Foreign Ministries, where both sides declared their support for the above-mentioned agreements and the obligations that are placed upon each country as a result of existing agreements,\" it says. In relation to this, the Russian Foreign Ministry \"insists that the agreements of June 2, 2004, be completely followed.\" (Interfax)
