While Georgia imprisoned a group of six people after they got arrested for involvement in a fighting on September 20 when two Abkhazian security forces were killed, a joint group of investigation that had inspectors from Russia, Georgia, Abkhazia and the United Nations reported in flat contradiction with the Tbilisi argument that the incidents happened not in Georgia but in Abkhazia.
Tbilisi said in its argument that the fighting broke out when Abkhazian security officers entered Upper Kodor as an area of land under Georgian control. Sukhum answered back in its argument that the fighting was caused by Georgian soldiers leaked out to the Abkhazian military camp in Tkaurchal. The joint group of investigators found out, however, with conviction that the fighting happened some 700 metres inwards from the Abkhazian border to Georgia.
Security Officers sent to prison
Abkhazian Military Chief Anatoli Zaitsev spoke of the two-day investigation in Tkaurchal as he termed it as a rough violation of the Geneva Convention to kidnap and kill border guards. Zaitsev also confirmed the report from the investigation group as being true. Georgia sent to prison a group of seven security officers to serve a two-month sentence of imprisonment after the group was convicted in the City court of Tbilisi of ‘belonging to a larger gang.’ Georgian sources reported that three of the captured Abkhazians were of Armenian origin.
