Romanian Trade Union Cartel Alfa Pleads For Ceasefire In Georgia

Romania’s trade union Cartel Alfa on Thursday urged Russian and Georgian authorities to cease fire and peacefully resolve their differences, after the Caucasus conflict left ten members of the Longshoremen Union in Georgia’s port of Poti dead and 15 others injured.

“We urge the Georgian and Russian governments to cease fire and start negotiations to solve this conflict and the issues that led to its start,” Cartel Alfa said in a statement.

The Romanian trade union joined the International Trade Union Confederation in expressing their support for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Caucasus.

Russian forces have returned to the Georgian port of Poti and raised troop numbers in Gori despite a ceasefire, a spokeswoman for Georgia’s foreign ministry said Thursday, quoted by AFP.
