Abkhazia Ready for War Against Georgia
Unrecognized Republic of Abkhazia would levy war on Georgia should the latter unleash war against South Ossetia, Interfax reported with reference to South Ossetia’s Security Council Secretary Anatoly Barankevich. The nation of Abkhazia will be fighting on its own soil, the official specified.
Abkhazia’s authorities reiterated past weekend that they were ready to open the second front should Georgia launch a war against South Ossetia.
The clashes of Georgia and South Ossetia aggravated in early August, when both parties shelled villages in the conflict area. There was a break of a few days but the shootout recommenced at night to August 7.
Some 20 were wounded in the recent standoff and both Georgia and South Ossetia blamed the conflict aggravation on each other. Both of them said they fired back to defend their soil. Tskhinvali also claims that the military vehicles of Georgia are being amassed near the conflict area.
