/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russian frontier guards have established stricter
control on Georgian border, RF FSB South Caucasus Department Spokesman
Sergey Livantsov said.

"A week ago our frontier subdivisions established stricter control
on the " Russian-Georgian section of state border. We don’t have
enough means to cope with all tasks, safeguarding the area against
any incident," he said.

In the meantime, Livantsov noted that decision to establish stricter
control was made with security considerations "not determined by us,"
RIA-Novosti reports.

Georgian Interior Ministry declared of having uncovered a plot for
an "armed uprising", perpetrated by former Defense Ministry senior
officials who allegedly had direct contact with Russian special
services.

Later, Georgian Defense Minister David Sikharulidze reported that
troops of a tank battalion at the Mukhrovani base had launched a
"rebellion".

Moscow characterized Tbilisi’s accusations as "raving and agony of
ruling regime". "It is done prior to NATO exercises on purpose in
order to distract international community’s attention," RF Foreign
Ministry reported.
