 Georgia sent troops to a remote gorge close to one of its breakaway
territories on Tuesday and Russia warned the Tbilisi government not to do
anything to ignite a new conflict, Reuters news agency reports.
A government source said a force had been dispatched towards the Kodori
gorge — a back-door into breakaway Abkhazia — after a local strongman
declared his autonomy from rule from Tbilisi.
“The only thing we can discuss with such people, after they lay down their
arms, will be which cells they occupy in prison,” President Mikhail
Saakashvili said on Monday.
The government source did not spell out how big the Georgian military
force was.
Russian peacekeepers told the Interfax news agency Georgia had dispatched
30 trucks, 37 jeeps, two armored vehicles and more than 500 troops. The
gorge was one of the routes Georgian troops took in an unsuccessful
attempt to re-establish central control over the rebel region in 1992-1993.
Russia, which sees itself as a regional peacekeeper but is on poor terms
with the Saakashvili leadership, reacted swiftly. “We are carefully
monitoring events. We call on Georgia to restrain from armed action that
could incite a new conflict in the region,” the Russian foreign ministry
said in a statement.
Abkhazia is a breakaway province of Georgia. The Kodori gorge lies within
Abkhazia’s borders, but the heavily forested area is not controlled by the
rebels.
Instead, it is largely under the sway of ex-governor Emzar Kvitsiani who
angered Tbilisi by declaring autonomy late on Sunday and announcing he had
held talks with officials from breakaway Abkhazia and Russian peacekeepers.
The troop movement comes days after Russia and Georgia traded accusations
over a second rebel region of South Ossetia, where a pair of bombings
prompted Moscow to warn Tbilisi against any attempt to regain control.
Georgian officials responded by accusing Russia of trying to annex its
territory and demanding Russia’s peacekeepers leave.
Parts of the gorge are strewn with mines from the 1992-1993 conflict
between Abkhaz and Georgian forces.
Authorities in Abkhazia, which is guarded by Russian peacekeepers,
appealed to Russia and the United Nations to condemn Georgia. They said
they were putting their own forces on high alert.
“We have dispatched the necessary forces to the Kodori gorge ... At the
moment, we are not interfering, but monitoring the situation,” Abkhaz
President Sergei Bagapsh told Interfax.
“But if the Georgian forces try to cross the line of the checkpoints of
the Russian peacekeepers then our units will take the required actions.”
News agencies said Russian peacekeepers had stopped a dozen soldiers and
two armoured vehicles at a checkpoint on the way to the Kodori gorge.

la russia dopo aver sistemato basaiev ed i ceceni si appresta legnare i
georgiani? Una bella operazione lampo russa contro la georgia che
portasse alla prematura morte di shakasvili e accoliti sarebbe l'ideale
oggi che tutti sono distratti da israele.
