Georgian Deputy Minister of State Security: Georgia Will Not Obstruct
Return of Chechen Fighters to Russia
TBILISI, September 27. According to Georgian Deputy Minister for State
Security Lasha Natsvlishvili, Georgia will not obstruct the return of
Chechen fighters to Russia. The deputy minister believes that if the
fighters are able to reach Russian territory, 'this is Russia's problem,
not Georgia's'.
Russian border guards have on several occasions detected the movement
of Chechen fighters across that Russian-Georgian border. In connection
with this, Russia has requested that Georgia either increase its efforts
to restore order in the border zone, or agree to joint anti-terrorist
operations. The Georgian authorities maintain that they are able to deal
with illegal armed bands or individual fighters, who are located mainly in
the Pankisi Gorge, without any outside help.
The Associated Press news agency yesterday announced that
Chechen field commander Ruslan Gelaev had left Georgian territory with a
group of fighters and is currently in Russia. |
