The Parliament of Georgia has adopted a statement condemning Russia’s "attempt to annex occupied Abkhazia” through its new treaty on "alliance and integration” with Sokhumi.
The Russian-proposed treaty "will give rise to a new wave of violation of international legal norms, create an additional threat to regional stability, and significantly damage the process of normalisation of Russian-Georgian relations,” the statement read.
The Parliament’s statement called on the international community "to intensify its efforts for the protection of international order and legal norms through using all the possible levers.”
The document also said Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic integration would secure full protection of the Abkhaz people’s interests.
The Parliament declared its full support towards Georgia’s Government to make the occupied regions’ issue the top priority during local or international discussions.
Meanwhile, President Giorgi Margvelashvili invited the National Security Council session to convene on October 28 "to plan coordinated actions for country’s defence in the worsened military-political conditions.”
A Kremlin proposed treaty on to enhance the relationship between Russia and Georgia’s breakaway region Abkhazia has been condemned by Georgia’s President Giorgi Margvelashvili.
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.
"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.
Georgian authorities condemned the proposed treaty believed such an agreement was a "violation” of the fundamental principles of international law and commitment.
The Georgian Government will develop a unified action plan to consolidate the international community about the Kremlin-proposed treaty on "Alliance and Integration” between Russia and Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region.
Georgia’s Foreign Minister Maia Panjikidze is planning to meet Foreign Ministers from all 28 European Union (EU) member states today.
"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.
The "Alliance and Integration” agreement recently offered by Russia to the Abkhazian de facto regime has been assessed by Georgian and German top officials as a continuation of Russia’s annexation policy.
Georgia’s largest opposition party will hold a rally in protest of Russian occupation of Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region on November 15.
Georgia will hold a National Security Council (NSC) meeting today to discuss the Kremlin-proposed ‘Alliance and Integration’ treaty Russia aims to form with Georgia’s breakaway region Abkhazia.
