Sep 3rd, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: WorldThe New York Times: President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia said Tuesday that he no longer recognized Mikheil Saakashvili as the president of Georgia, calling him “a political corpse” in his most lacerating words to date about a government Moscow wants to force from power.
In an interview with the Italian television channel RAI, Mr. Medvedev adopted a combative tone more often associated with his predecessor, Vladimir V. Putin.
