As confirmation Giorgi Kvirikashvili gave examples of signing by Russia of a number of agreements with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which, according to the Prime Minister of Georgia, leading to the “militarization of the occupied regions”, and also to the fact that military, political, economic and social sphere of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in fact merge with the Russian.
He also spoke about the “bordersize”, noting that this process does not allow living in the “occupied territories” Georgians to study in their native language, as well as the residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to receive medical care in Georgia.
