Georgia’s President Giorgi Margvelashvili has released a special statement in which he strongly condemned making trenches by occupant forces at the Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) separating Georgia’s eastern Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region from the rest of Georgia.
The de facto Security Service of Tskhinvali announced yesterday that the trenches are for the fire protection zone and stressed engineers works will start on August 3.
Margvelashvili assessed this process as a "continuation of the creeping occupation of Georgia” and called on the international community to take a firm stance against these actions.
Actions of the occupant forces- erecting new border signs, creeping occupation and the militarization of Georgia’s occupied territories strain situation and create threats for regional stability,” Margvelashvili stated.
None of the cases of violating Georgia's territorial integrity will be left unanswered. Such actions should be strongly condemned in order to stop the creeping occupation,” the President added.
Margvelashvili stressed that the Georgian people "will never accept or tolerate this historic injustice – occupation of Georgia.”
The Security Service of Georgia’s eastern occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region has announced engineering works to restore the fire protection zone "at the border with Georgia”.
Any attempt to rename an occupied region of Georgia without the consent of the central government will be an affront on Georgia’s sovereignty and integrity, says President Giorgi Margvelashvili.
The State Security Service of Georgia is committed to securing the release of Giorgi Giunashvili – a Georgian citizen sentenced to 20 years in prison by an unrecognised court in Georgia's Russian-occupied Tskhinvali region.
