/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Gangsterism in Georgia has acquired a state coloring,
said Russian Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov. "We have warned the
military and their families not to go leave homes if it’s not extremely
necessary," he added.
The Russian Defense Minister accused "some new NATO member states of
selling to Georgia the armament that they purchased from the USSR with
a veto on re-export." "This is a grave violation of the agreement on
the control of armament and nothing else but piracy," said Ivanov,
who will take part in the Russia-NATO Council sitting in Slovenia.
As it was reported earlier, since September 27 evening the
Georgian police have detained 6 Russian military on accusation
of espionage. Presently officers Alexander Sava, Dmitry Kazantsev,
Alexander Barantsev, Alexander Zavgotodtsev and first sergeant Ruslan
Skrylnikov are kept in custody. The Georgian side asserts that another
serviceman Konstantin Pichugin is hiding in the Russian Embassy,
reports RIA Novosti.
