Council of Europe Secretary-General Terry Davis met in Tbilisi on 15 April with Georgian Minister for Conflict Resolution Giorgi Khaindrava to discuss the situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Speaking at a press conference on 16 April, Davis recommended that Georgia bear in mind the \"positive role\" played by Russia during the standoff last year between the central Georgian government and Adjara, and its peacekeeping operations in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. He noted that both Russia and Georgia face separatist conflicts, and reaffirmed his support for the territorial integrity of both countries.

Davis appealed to Georgians living and working illegally in Europe to return home as \"their country needs them.\" He also downplayed criticisms of unnamed Georgian government ministers expressed by NGO representatives with whom he met during his visit.
