[Regnum] Russia does not intend to create a naval base in Ochamchira Bay in Abkhazia, Abkhazia's Foreign Minister Sergei Shamba told reporters.
“As for the Ochamchira port, there is no talk of opening a naval base there,” Gazeta.Ru quoted him as saying.
Shamba recalled that the 7th military base of the Russian Armed Forces is deployed in Abkhazia. In addition, Russian border guards play a very important role in the security of the republic, the head of the MFA added.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, Abkhazian President Aslan Bzhania announced in October 2023 that Russia would build a permanent base for naval ships in Ochamchira Bay. Moscow and Sukhum signed a corresponding agreement.
In January 2024, Shamba, as Secretary of the Security Council of Abkhazia, did not rule out that the Russian Navy base in Ochamchira Bay could begin operating this year. He also emphasized that after the Russian Federation assumed responsibility for the republic's security, there had not been a single case of ship seizures in the Black Sea off the Abkhaz coast.
