| Georgiaâs President Mikhail Saakashvili has said that his country will be stepping up cooperation with Russia to prevent any armed groups or individuals from crossing the border either way. âAny person who tries to cross the border arms in hand will be detained and brought to justice,â Saakashvili told reporters on Wednesday. âWhen snow thawing begins in the mountains, there may emerge the risk of armed groups penetrating into Georgia from Chechnya. The militants are posing a threat to everybody, in the first place, to Georgia.â Saakashvili said that according to his sources currently there were no armed groups of militants from Chechnya in Georgia. Should they appear, the groups will be detained and disarmed, Saakashvili said. |
