The State Security Service of Georgia has reported today that occupying forces have resumed ‘borderisation’ activities along the village of Karapila in Kaspi municipality close to occupied Tskhinvali region.
Calling this 'yet another destructive action’ the security service said it ‘threatens the security environment’ on the ground.
The European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) has been informed and its hotline has been activated. Co-chairs of Geneva International Discussions will also be briefed about the situation.
Russian-controlled occupation forces have allegedly shot a Georgian citizen yesterday who was trying to cross the occupation line between Georgia and its western occupied Abkhazia region.
A number of foriegn officials have condemned resumption of “borderisation” activities near the village of Takhtisdziri close to the Russia-occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region. The co-chairs of the Geneva International Discussions as well as the United States and the European Union have also condemned “borderisation” activities near the village of Takhtisdziri.
The Georgian State Security Service has denied illegal “borderisation” in the village of Kobi in Khashuri Municipality near occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region. However, it said, Russian occupation forces continue provocative activities along the villages of Chorchana and Tsagveli.
United States (US) Ambassador to Georgia Ian Kelly has travelled to the occupation line where an illegal "border” marked by the Russian troops separates Georgian farmers from their agricultural lands.
