Tamta Liparteliani went on behalf of a Young Socialists organisation to the youth camp in Norway where the lone gunman's attack took place, along with another Georgian woman who survived the shootings. The Georgian foreign ministry said Liparteliani had been identified by her fingerprints. "Unfortunately our worst fears have been confirmed," Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze told local media. It has not been possible to confirm her age. Liparteliani's parents travelled to Norway on Wednesday in an attempt to find out what had happened to their daughter. Anders Behring Breivik has confessed to killing at least 76 people in the shooting spree on the island and a bomb attack in the Norwegian capital Oslo. In a letter of condolence to Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg on Saturday, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said that "this terrible atrocity once again reminds us that terrorism remains one of the main common challenges of the world today." |

In his last major address as Russia's prime minister before retaking the presidency, Vladimir Putin outlined "five priorities" for his third presidential term. His fifth task is to boost cooperation across the Eurasian space, enhancing Russia's global position by having it lead a new effort towards integrating the states of the former Soviet Union. Speaking before the Duma last Wednesday, Putin said, "Creation of a common economic space is the most important event in post-Soviet space since the collapse of the Soviet Union."
