Finnish Foreign Minister Timo Soini has condemned Russia’s illegal activities in Georgia and the erection of new barbed wire fences by occupants in the Georgian village of Atotsi.
Soini told his Georgian counterpart David Zalkaliani in Helsinki today that on the 10th anniversary of the Russia-Georgia 2008 war, Finland remains committed to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He stated that the European Union is also unanimous regarding Georgia’s territorial integrity.
Zalkaliani thanked Soini for his country’s support to Georgia and praised Finland’s role in the European Union Monitoring Mission, which is the only international monitoring patrolling the occupation lines in Georgia.
