Three Abkhazian servicemen abducted, then released

The enlisted men were captured on December 26 in the village of Primorskoye, the Gali district, that is to say, in the security zone controlled by the CIS Peacekeeping Forces, and were taken to the territory of Georgia. The ministry of defense regards the incident as the one throwing discredit upon the peacekeeping forces as it occurred in the area they are responsible for.
