"This is not just a technical question, it is an imminently 9 political question. There is an agreement among all the participants in the Geneva talks, so-called 'international discussions,' that an agreement, in principle, on the very fact that such a mechanism is necessary."

“我们关切的焦点落在一个非常重要的问题上,就是检视这个能够协助我们预防并解决事件发生的机制。这不仅仅是一个技术问题,这也是一个迫切的政治问题。参加日内瓦讨论,就是所谓‘国际讨论’的所有各方原则上一致认为,这样一种机制是必要的。”

"Despite the serious disagreements we have with the Russian Federation 12 over the origins of the conflict and the recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, the United States will work with Russia."

他说:“我们将继续工作去改善那里的局势,并且改善各方之间的协调。尽管对有关冲突的起因以及承认南奥赛梯和阿布哈兹问题上,我们和俄罗斯联邦存在严重分歧,但美国将继续和俄罗斯解决这个问题。”
