NATO Condemns Russian Security Contract With Abkhazia

  

I will not personally have any dealings with the current president of Georgia. For Russia, he is persona non grata.

 

February 18, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - NATO officials rebuked Russia’s military contract with the neighboring Republic of Abkhazia at the Kremlin on Wednesday. The new deal would allow  military personnel in Abkhazian bases for a period of 49 years and it is effective immediately.

 

Sergei Bagapash President of Abkhazia signed the new agreement with  President Dmitry Medvedev, yesterday. For years NATO allies have been arming Georgia as a strategic ally of the West. Georgian maverick President Mikhail Saakashvili who tried hard to establish an American satellite state over the Georgian Republic, has been at loggerheads with its historic neighbour since independence.

 

NATO forces have expanded their presence around Russia for the past several years along borders with Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and the Arctic among others. Russia, which holds massive natural resources, highly skilled manpower and a strong military power, poses a tremendous mid to long-term threat against Western multinationals and corporate driven political establishments. NATO’s US-led policymakers want to tell Russia, China and to some extend India and Brazil amongst others that they are still the big boss and the world must pursue this fixed pattern of behavior deliberated by the Western elites stationed in New York, London, Paris and Berlin.

 

NATO sees own rights to establish defense shields in Poland near the Russian border, Romania and next Hungary. It is also deploying missile shields in the strategic Persian Gulf Arab states very close the Straight of Hormoz, where half of the world’s energy is transported everyday. US and NATO’s military basis are scattered in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and recently the US signed a military contract with Taiwan (China) directly targeting Beijing.

 

In spite of NATO’s expansionist policies, it demands from Moscow, in a rather bellicose manner, to cancel security contract with Abkhazia. The alliances spokeswoman Carmen Romero announced, ‘The North Atlantic Council has condemned the decision by the Russian Federation to recognize the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and calls on it to revoke this decision and NATO continues to call on Russia to respect its engagements under the (2008) ceasefire accord concluded under EU mediation.

 

Georgia’s, heavily influenced by the outdated Hollywood notion of America as the land of golden opportunities, President Mikhail Saakashvili condemned the Russian security contract with Abkhazia. Georgian parliamentary speaker noted, ‘Abkhazia and South Ossetia are Georgian territories, and the deployment of foreign troops on the territory of another country is called an occupation, since the Russian aggression in 2008, Abkhazia and South Ossetia have become one big military base for Russia.’

 

However, Moscow reiterated its support to ‘defend the sovereignty and safety of the republic jointly with the armed forces of Abkhazia,’ Al Jazeera reported and also quoted the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as saying, ‘ I will not personally have any dealings with the current president of Georgia. For Russia, he is persona non grata.’
