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.
The decision to create an action plan was made at today’s border meeting of the Security and Crisis Management Council, led by Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.
Under the PM’s order, each state agency was tasked with suggesting, in near future, its own action plan involving a section about its foreign activities.
After the meeting, Georgian officials said all international mechanisms would be used in order to ensure Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The whole Government will be engaged in the process of developing the unified plan. Officials believed this kind of consolidated approach towards the issue would work.
The new treaty outlined joint cooperation with de-facto Abkhazia in defence and security, economic harmonisation with the Eurasian union, social protection and foreign policy issues. Georgian authorities condemned the proposed treaty believed such an agreement was a "violation” of the fundamental principles of international law and commitment.
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.
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.
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.
