/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russian FM Sergey Lavrov stated Thursday that Russia
is going to attain release of the military detained in Georgia by
all means available.
"We demanded immediate release of our citizens and we will work firmly
to attain it by all means available," he said. In his words, "there
is cause for the UN Security Council to engage in that issue." Lavrov
was concerned over the incident in Georgia and called it "recurrent
provocation and demonstration of anti-Russian policy."
We remind that Russian military and Georgian citizens suspected of
espionage were detained in Tbilisi, Batumi and other towns of the
country on Wednesday.
According to the data of the Georgian Interior Ministry, another
Russian citizen, allegedly accomplice of intelligence activities, is
hiding in the building of the Group of Russian Troops in Transcaucasia
(GRTT). The building was encircled and Georgian Defense Minister Irakly
Okurashvili promised to continue the siege, until K. Pichugin is given
away to the Georgian party. Georgian law enforcers cannot get to the
GRTT territory, as it has diplomatic immunity, reports RIA Novosti.
