Georgian minister of defense defies words of attack
Although Georgian Minister of Defense says that all Georgian troops are currently located in their bases, it is evident from the recent pictures of Kodor that the Georgia army is nowadays busy increasing its build-up there.
Tbilisi - Although the Georgian army has placed some of its troops as well as military equipments along its borders both with the Kodor region of Abkhazia and with South Ossetia, the administration of Georgia said that Georgia would not launch an attack.
Georgia intended to attack neither Abkhazia nor South Ossetia, said David Kezerashvili, Georgian Minister of Defense. "We won't attack any regions." All Georgian troops were currently located in their own bases, said Kezerashvili, and argued that they did not take on a mission to go to a military operation at all.
The Georgian minister of defense also put the number of Georgian troops at thirty-two thousand, while the military budget of Georgia approximated $800mn.
While Georgia increased its military build-up on the border, Russia increases the presence of its peacekeeping forces in Abkhazia. (Agency Caucasus) 09/05/2008
