MOSCOW. Aug 4 (Interfax-AVN) - Moscow has cautioned Tbilisi against any moves that could harm Russian citizens.
"Russia is warning Tbilisi that all attempts to inflict harm on Russia citizens, or, worse still, to encroach on their lives, will be duly rebuffed," says the Foreign Ministry statement circulated on Wednesday.
"The Tbilisi authorities have made an unprecedented step by threatening to 'open fire at and sink all ships that will appear near the coast of Abkhazia.'"
"This warning is also intended for Russian tourists who make boat trips to Novy Afon and Sukhumi," the ministry said.
