Georgia slams Russia for its aggressive policy

Georgia has assessed the construction of a wall along the administrative border of the Abkhazian separatist region as yet another demonstration of Russian occupation of Georgia.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Davit Jalaghania said at the traditional Monday briefing at the ministry of foreign affairs that the construction of the separation wall was the continuation of the Russian occupant policy and Russian aggression against Georgia.

`This is of course is absolutely unacceptable. Russia has confirmed that it needs the occupied territories as the platform for its military bases and speculations about any social or economic acts are absurd,` Davit Jalaghania said.
Jalaghania has also objected to the process of issuing Russian passports to the residents of the Perevi village, Sachkhere region, which was occupied during the last year aggression of Russia.

`This decision contradicts Russian legislation itself as well as the norms of international law. We hope that the international society will try to force Russia to act in accordance with international norms,` Jalaghania said.
