Russia to put military base in Georgia’s Abkhazia
MOSCOW — President Dmitry Medvedev says Russia is to station a permanent military base in Georgia’s breakaway republic of Abkhazia.
Abkhazia and South Ossetia, another separatist-held part of Georgia, declared independence after the 2008 Russia-Georgia war. Thousands of Russian troops are thought to have remained in the Moscow-sponsored republics, which Georgia and the West consider sovereign Georgian land.
Medvedev said at a news conference with Abkhazia’s de facto leader on Wednesday that an agreement was signed to allow a Russian military base to operate there.
No time frame on the construction of the base, which is sure to redouble Moscow’s tensions with Tbilisi, was given.

Georgia (South Ossetia and Abkhazia) is the most dangerous flashpoint. The Bible says: “At the appointed time [the king of the north = Russia] will return back [will regain the influence, which it lost after the break-up of the Soviet Union] and come into the south [many indicate that this might be Georgia], but it will not be as the former [1921] or as the latter [2008]. For the dwellers of coastlands of Kittim [the West] will come against him, and he will be humbled, and will return.” (Daniel 11:29,30a) Then Iran will be humbled also. “But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur [Russia] and troubling Eber [inhabiting on the other side the Euphrates].” (Numbers 24:24a, BBE) At that time, peace will be taken from the earth and the “great sword” - nuclear sword - will be used. (Revelation 6:4) |
