Georgian President Zurabishvili on Tuesday denounced a reported Russian plan to set up a navy base in the breakaway Abkhazia region as a threat to security in the Black Sea. In October, Abkhazia separatist leader Aslan Bzhania said he signed an agreement with Russia to establish a Russian naval base at the Black Sea town of Ochamchire “in the near future”. President Zurabishvili has repeatedly clashed with the Georgian government by accusing it of being too close to Moscow.
