Georgian experts discussed the security concept of the country with the Georgian Security Council Secretary on Thursday. The meeting with Eka Tkeshelashvili lasted for two hours.

Eka Tkeshelashvili introduced the methodology of drawing up the country`s security concept to the experts. Working on two documents - the document determining dangers and the country`s security concept - started at the Georgian Security Council in January 2009. The Georgian side, while drawing up the concept, actively gathered experience from its Estonian and British colleagues.

`The document depicts the dangers coming from our neighbouring country. It also depicts the circumstance, that a large part of our country has been occupied by Russia. We are also working on probabilities, in particular, what probabilities exist for carrying out large-scale actions by Russia against Georgia again in the future`, Eka Tkeshelashvili said.

The experts said the process of drawing up the security concept is going on judiciously and they expect the document to be quite realistic. They say correct approaches to problems have been established.

Three groups, working in three directions have been created by the Security Council. They will be actively working together with Georgian experts. As reported, the document determining security will be prepared and presented to the Security Council by November and the security council will be drawn up and presented to the parliament by the end of the current year.
