Abkhazia Offers Russia to Host Radar in Sukhumi
Abkhazia has offered Russia to set up a radar station in the capital of Sukhumi. Sergey Bagapsh, president of the breakaway republic, voiced this initiative in Moscow on Wednesday.
The station may be located in Abkhazia in response to America’s move to deploy a radar station in Georgia, the Mayak radio reported Wednesday. Abkhazia’s President believes that the station of the U.S. anti-aircraft missile system will be spying not only on Abkhazia but also on Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia’s south.
Sergey Bagapsh called Georgia a “hostile country” and said he believes that Tbilisi is preparing a war on Abkhazia.
The suggestion was voiced one day after the U.S. House of Representatives endorsed a bill to allocate funds to support Georgia’s bid to enter NATO.
The situation in another self-proclaimed republic in Georgia, South Ossetia, is still volatile. A checkpoint of Russian peace keepers came under fire earlier this week.
