Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili strongly condemned Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s visit to the occupied Abkhazia region.

“I strongly condemn Aleksandr Lukashenko’s “visit” to Abkhazia region of Georgia occupied by Russia and meetings with the Russian occupation regime. This step violates Georgia’s law on occupied territories and contradicts with international law as well as bilateral relations between our countries,” he tweeted.

The Georgian Foreign Ministry summoned the Ambassador of Belarus to Georgia following the visit of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko to the occupied Abkhazia region. As previously reported, Alexander Lukashenko arrived in occupied Abkhazia. He met with its de facto leader Aslan Bzhania and with the leadership of the Abkhazian de facto administration.

I strongly condemn Aleksandr Lukashenko’s “visit” to Abkhazia region of 🇬🇪 occupied by 🇷🇺 and meetings with the Russian occupation regime. This step violates 🇬🇪’s law on occupied territories & contradicts with int’l law as well as bilateral relations between our countries.
