"Georgia is continuing to sabotage the work of mechanisms that have been designed to resolve conflicts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia," Sergei Lavrov told Ekho Moskvy (Echo of Moscow) radio station.
Lavrov said Georgia had refused to accept proposals made by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to conclude agreements with the breakaway republics that would prohibit the use of force and guarantee security in the conflict zones.
He also said Georgia had refused to allow the return of refugees to Abkhazia even though the UN had outlined the relevant procedures long time ago.
The Georgian parliament also passed a resolution on Tuesday advising the government to suspend peacekeeping operations in the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and take urgent measures to introduce international peacekeepers.
Russia assisted in concluding ceasefire agreements between Georgia and its separatist republics in the early 1990s and peacekeepers have since helped maintain ceasefire in the conflict zones.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that Russia's position remained unchanged and the withdrawal of peacekeepers was fraught with a new crisis and humanitarian catastrophe.
