RF FA ACCUSES BRYZA OF INCOMPETENCE AND INCONSISTENCY

The Russian Foreign Ministry has sharply criticized statements by U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza in Tbilisi and Sukhumi, describing them as erroneous. The Foreign Ministry has slammed Bryza, for his statements concerning Moscow’s “provocative moves” and accused him of bias in favor of Tbilisi. “There is an impression that Mr Bryza is not aware of the fact that on April 29 and on May 3 the commander of the CIS peacekeeping forces informed in details the Georgian Defense Minister [Davit Kezerashvili] about the reasons of increasing the strength of peacekeeping troops, including about the scheme of their dislocation. We have numerously stated that there is no military motive in the lifting CIS sanctions on Abkhazia,” said Boris Malakhov, a spokesman for FR Foreign Ministry spokesman. “This is not the first time when Mr. Bryza demonstrates lack of knowledge of a real situation and real events taking place in the conflict region, as a result of which his judgments, saying the least of it, are less in line of the reality,” he said. “In the light of “unilateral concentration of the Georgian troops at the Abkhaz border and regular overflights of the Georgian unmanned reconnaissance drones in the Abkhaz airspace, the U.S. diplomat all of a sudden questions expediency of certain increase of the level of CIS peacekeeping forces in the conflict zone.” “At the same time, besides the reconnaissance activities and fire correction, the unmanned aerial vehicle can carry an air-to-air missile,” Malakhov said. “The statements of the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State made in Tbilisi and Sokhumi [on May 9-12] are in the line of the U.S. Administration’s efforts to cover up and to shield from criticism those, whom they are actively dragging into NATO,” the Russian Foreign Ministry official said.
