NATO raps Russia for expanding border into Georgia | Reuters
NATO criticized Russia on Wednesday for expanding its border deeper into Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region, a move Moscow has portrayed as a temporary step to expand a security zone around the Sochi Winter Olympics.
"We have noted the recent decision to temporarily extend the so-called border zone of Abkhazia further into Georgian territory without the Georgian government's consent," NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
"We are very concerned about that decision," he told a news conference in Brussels after talks with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.
