SUKHUM, Abkhazia, February 26 (Interfax) - Abkhazia plans to
closely monitor upcoming Georgian-U.S. military exercises but will not
put its armed forces on alert, Abkhaz Deputy Defense Minister Garry
Kupalba said.
"The Abkhaz troops will not be put on alert
because of the planned Georgian-U.S. exercises in the Black Sea. We
will closely follow these exercises," Kupalba said.
Abkhaz armed
forces as well as the Russian 7th military base and Russian border
guard units stationed in Abkhazia have enough forces and resources to
counter any aggression attempt on Georgia's part, he said.
"A
joint action plan for Abkhaz armed forces and Russian troops stationed
in the republic has been developed in case Georgia launches military
actions against Abkhazia," he said.
The USS John L. Hall (FFG-32) entered
Georgia' territorial waters on Thursday morning and has been standing
at anchorage near the Poti port, the Georgian border police told
Interfax.
The ship is to take part in joint exercises with
personnel from the Georgian coastguard service. It is to call at the
Batumi port on March 1.
