Georgia, Tbilisi, Aug. 31 / Trend N.Kirtzkhalia /
Statement on the Russian Coast Guard Federal Security Service's control over the Abkhazian waters is unprecedented and unlawful, Deputy Head of the Foreign Policy Department, David Jalaganiya, said at the traditional Monday briefing on Aug. 31.
Jalaganiya commented on the statement of the de facto foreign minister of Abkhazia, Sergey Shamba, noting that Abkhazia welcomes the initiative regarding Russia's Coast Guard control over the Abkhazian coast.
"This statement is unprecedented, unlawful and cynical, as an aggressor-country is going to establish so-called order in the territorial waters of a sovereign country ", Jalaganiya added.
According to Russian media reports, the Coast Guard Service of Russia together with the Abkhazian border guards will ensure the safety of those vessels that are in the so-called territorial waters of Abkhazia. Russian border guards will protect primarily these vessels from the Georgian Coast Guard.
