"Nobody has a right and ability to prevent Russia and Abkhazia from bringing their ties to a new level,” reads a statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry as its official comment after the Georgian- Russian meeting in Prague.
The comment, published on Russia's Foreign Ministry's website on behalf of official Ministry spokesperson Alexander Lukashevich stated Russia disagreed with Georgia's opinion of the Russia-Abkhazia deal and the deal was not alarming for Georgia-Russia relations.
"The confrontational statement of the Georgian Foreign Ministry and reaction of Georgian politics is a strong argument for us to further strengthen Russia-Abkhazia cooperation in security,” replied the Russian Foreign Ministry to official Tbilisi’s statement.
Georgian MFA assessed the draft of the Kremlin-proposed new treaty as "a step towards annexation” of its breakaway region.
Lukashevich claimed the Moscow-Sokhumi ‘Alliance and Integration’ agreement "is not alarming and threat for the normalisation process of Georgia-Russia relations” and Geneva International talks.
This was the third Russian "warning" statement issued in the past month.
"This document contradicts Abkhazians' 25 year struggle for self-determination, recognition and so-called independence,” says Georgia's Prime Minister about a Kremlin proposed new treaty on ‘Alliance and Integration’ with Georgia’s breakaway region Abkhazia.

A Kremlin proposed new treaty on ‘Alliance and Integration’ with Georgia’s breakaway region Abkhazia and Russia will be signed by the end of this year, Abkhazia’s de-facto leader Raul Khajimba announced.
The de facto president of Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region is unhappy with a number of paragraphs in the Kremlin proposed ‘Alliance and Integration’ treaty, which aims to bring Russia and Abkhazia closer together.
"We must condemn and stand against of any attempt aimed to legalize the annexation of Georgian territories. All these efforts are the logical continuation of what Russia is doing in other regions, for example in Crimea,” commented Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius.
