/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Russian Foreign Ministry has sharply criticized
statements by U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza
in Tbilisi and Sukhumi, describing them as erroneous.
The Foreign Ministry has slammed Bryza, for his statements concerning
Moscow's "provocative moves" and accused him of bias in favor of
Tbilisi.
"There is an impression that Mr Bryza is not aware of the fact that
on April 29 and on May 3 the commander of the CIS peacekeeping forces
informed in details the Georgian Defense Minister [Davit Kezerashvili]
about the reasons of increasing the strength of peacekeeping troops,
including about the scheme of their dislocation. We have numerously
stated that there is no military motive in the lifting CIS sanctions
on Abkhazia," said Boris Malakhov, a spokesman for FR Foreign Ministry
spokesman.
"This is not the first time when Mr. Bryza demonstrates lack of
knowledge of a real situation and real events taking place in the
conflict region, as a result of which his judgments, saying the least
of it, are less in line of the reality," he said.
"In the light of "unilateral concentration of the Georgian troops at
the Abkhaz border and regular overflights of the Georgian unmanned
reconnaissance drones in the Abkhaz airspace, the U.S. diplomat all
of a sudden questions expediency of certain increase of the level of
CIS peacekeeping forces in the conflict zone."
"At the same time, besides the reconnaissance activities and fire
correction, the unmanned aerial vehicle can carry an air-to-air
missile," Malakhov said.
"The statements of the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
made in Tbilisi and Sokhumi [on May 9-12] are in the line of the
U.S. Administration's efforts to cover up and to shield from criticism
those, whom they are actively dragging into NATO," the Russian Foreign
Ministry official said.
