'We are not worried about Georgia's reaction to Lukashenko's visit', Inal Ardzinba says
Abkhazia's de facto Minister of Foreign Affairs Inal Ardzinba responded to the statements of the Georgian side regarding the arrival of Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko in occupied Abkhazia.
"The Republic of Abkhazia is an independent state, a subject of international law and geopolitical reality. We consider Belarus an important partner of our foreign policy. They are our friends. Regarding this visit, the reaction of third countries, for example, Georgia, does not worry us", said Ardzinba.
Duma speaker mistakes 'Shame' movement's fake document for real one
According to the statement of the 'Shame' movement, the document, which the speaker of the Russian State Duma spoke about at the session held in the Duma, was created by an activist of 'Shame' and Volodin considered it to be a real document.
At the session of the State Duma, Volodin said that Russian citizens are required to recognize Russia as an occupation regime upon entering Georgia. Volodin stated that he had a document confirming the fact.
According to the 'Shame' movement, the mentioned 'document' was created by an activist of 'Shame' and sent in a telegram chat called "Zemo Larsi - Chat". The form was specially made with spelling mistakes and it was removed from the Russian chat within a few minutes, and the activist was blocked.
During the session of the Duma, Volodin said that those who sign this document "have already betrayed us".
"Here, Nikolay Kolomeitsev recently handed me a document that those who cross the Russian-Georgian border are asked to sign - a statement on the recognition of Russia as an occupation regime on the territory of Georgia. If this is true and our citizens sign this document, it is quite obvious that this is a crime.
We must investigate this because according to the first paragraph, the signatory admits that his country is the aggressor. This is already a criminal responsibility," Volodin said.
