Before his departure to Israel the President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili made a statement on Russia's aggressive politics. Specifically, he stated that this is the most aggressive attempt from Russian side after the Cold War to change the existing order around the world.

"An armed intervention is taking place in Georgia now. This is a very rough, outrageous and unprecedented attempt to revise the entire world order which was established after break-up of Communism", noted the President of Georgia.

The President underlined the fact that Georgia is in a crisis situation now, but this is a problem for the United States and other countries as well, including Russia itself.

Mikheil Saakashvili said that during his visit in Israel he will meet the President of United States George Bush on these issues.
