ABKHAZ AUTHORITIES REFUTE TBILISI STATEMENTS 
MOSCOW, APRIL 2, 2002 /from a RIA Novosti
correspondent/ -- Defence Minister of the
self-proclaimed republic of Abkhazia Vladimir Mikanba
has decisively refuted assertions of Georgian
representatives that Russia allegedly introduces
armoured machinery and live forces to Abkhazia. 

"This is real nonsense," Mikanba said in his telephone
interview to RIA Novosti. 

According to him, "if armoured machinery begins to be
delivered from Russia to Abkhazia, all radio stations
will speak about this." Some Russian media reported
earlier referring to chairman of the Georgian state
reconnaissance department Avtandil Ioseliani that
several units of armoured machinery and Russian
military servicemen were introduced to Abkhazia from
the neighbouring Krasnodar Territory of Russia. 

This is "a regular misinformation disseminated with
the aim to aggravate the situation the way it was last
May," Vladimir Mikanba stated. According to him, "the
Georgian side needed a cause and it invented it."
