Commander
of the Georgian guerrilla group «Lesnie bratia (Wood brothers)», David
Shengelia confirms that in Abkhazia has already gathered such force of the
movement of resistance, which does not represent the big work to take Sukhumi.
As he said, on the eve, guerrillas have taken the village Machara located at 6
kilometers from Sukhumi. Thus he categorically denied the fact of execution by
guerrillas of local residents and accused Abhazians for it. David Shengelia
stated rebukes in address of authorities of Georgia, which «do not support
armed force of the movement of Resistance in Abkhazia». «Guerrillas will
continue to render local, but painful raids until resistance from their side
will not be broken», - he noted.
David
Shengelia is sure, that in the morning on Tuesday, Russian aircraft bombed
Georgian villages of Kodori Gorge. In interview with Georgian MASS MEDIA, he
named as «cynical», statements of representatives of Sukhumi that planes and
helicopters of the Air Forces of Georgia have made bombing attacks on Georgian
villages of this area of Abkhazia. Raids from air on the Georgian villages of
Kodori Gorge are «continuation of that provocation, which Russia arranged on
Monday, having brought down above Kodori Gorge of the helicopter of mission of
military observers of the United Nations», declared David Shengelia.
In
turn, Abkhazian and Russian sides accuse Georgia of air strikes. At least, five
peace inhabitants of the Abkhazian and Armenian nationalities were lost and some
have received wounds as a result of bombing attack of the Georgian military
aircraft on villages of Abkhazia on Tuesday in the morning, declared Deputy
Defence Minister of Abkhazia, Vyacheslav
Ankvab. As he said, villages in which peaceful inhabitants suffered have been
specified. He noted, that Georgian helicopters and planes for support of those
falling in siege of Georgian guerrillas and North Caucasian fighters.
Meanwhile,
as declared in the Georgian boundary department, on Tuesday in the morning at
5:10 in Kodori Gorge, helicopters without obvious symbols made bombing attacks
on vicinities of the Georgian villages Lata and Chkhalta. Then, 6 planes without
recognition symbols fired at summer pastures in village Sakeni and left towards
Kluhorskoe pass on the Georgian-Russian border. Some aerial bombs exploded also
at village Omarishari. The Georgian population lives in these villages. In
frontier department of Georgia yet have no information on victims and
destructions. To the place of incident were urgently sent Georgian frontier
guards.
The
Deputy Defence Minister of Georgia, Gela Bejuashvili appealed on Tuesday to
embassy of Russia in Georgia, to act against the stream of disinformation that
Georgian aircraft supposedly bombed Kodori Gorge. Gela Bejuashvili informed,
that he personally talked by phone to the Charge d'Affaires ad interim in
affairs of the Russian Federation in Georgia, Alexander Sharonov. According to
Deputy Defence Minister of Georgia, Russian MASS MEDIA carry out intentional
anti-Georgian information campaign.
The
Deputy Defence Minister of Georgia, Gela Bejuashvili declares, that Russian
bombed villages of Kodori gorge on Tuesday in the morning. He told, that it «will
be proved». In Kodori Gorge, as he said, there are representatives of Defence
Minister of Georgia, who will find material evidences of that the Russian planes
or helicopters took part in this bombardment. According to him, Abkhazia has «certain
air forces», but the Georgian frontier guards officially declare, that such two
planes, which are not present in arms of the Air Forces of unrecognized Republic
Abkhazia, participated in this strike. «It is absurd to accuse Georgian
aircraft of bombardment of Kodori Gorge», - told Gela Bejuashvili. If
participation of Russia in this strike will be proved, it will receive the
appropriate estimation, international sounding as it is territory of the
sovereign state, told Gela Bejuashvili. Deputy Minister noted, that, in his
opinion, Russia is going to keep not only military base in Gudauta, but also as
a whole to increase the military presence in Georgia. In his opinion, the same
purpose - to keep or even to increase military presence in Georgia - pursue the
conversations that in Abkhazia from among the Georgian and Northern-Caucasians
will perish peaceful inhabitants of the Armenian nationality.
On
Tuesday, the report in the morning has reached, that Georgia is not going to
carry out mobilization actions in reply to partial mobilization of reservists of
Abkhazian side, which confirms about intrusion into republic of Georgian
guerrilla and North Caucasian group. The Deputy Defence Minister of Georgia,
Gela Bejuashvili declared, that Georgia «does not begin war with Abkhazia».
The Defence Minister of Georgia has no relation to that what is now occurring in
territory of Abkhazia, he noted.
