Abkhazia starts forcing Georgian troops out of Kodori Gorge

President of Abkhazia Sergey Bagapsh has made a decision to start driving Georgian armed forces out of the upper section of the Kodori Gorge. Christian Bzhaniya, President's official spokesman for media, has announced this at a briefing.

According to Mr Bzhaniya, at the background of what happens in South Ossetia, the situation in the upper section of the Kodori Gorge has also aggravated: during the whole period they watched movements of manpower and machinery in the territory controlled by Georgia.

"The contingent of Georgian armed forces was doubled in the region, heavy machines, artillery and salvo fire installations were deployed," President's spokesman has emphasized.

He has added that "concentration of huge military forces in the upper section of the Kodori Gorge, announced mobilization of reservists in Georgia, flat refusal of official Tbilisi to sign a ceasefire agreement and regular rough Georgia's violation of all previous agreements, first of all, of the basic Moscow one of 1994; in breaching the latter in 2006 Georgian troops invaded the Gorge - all these have created a real threat of a new aggression against the Republic of Abkhazia."

According to Mr Bzhaniya, the warfare is carried out by Abkhazian air forces and special units of the Republic's Armed Forces; missile and bomb attacks were undertaken against Georgian military dispositions.
