MOSCOW. April 18 (Interfax-AVN) - Chief-of-Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Anatoly Kvashnin has blamed "Georgian extremists" for the recent events in the Kodori Gorge.
Such unexpected "explosions of tension" show that "some politicians and military officers want to solve the problem of uniting Georgia by using force," he told Interfax. "This is the only explanation I can offer to the events in the Kodori Gorge," Kvashnin said.
