A protocol on the implementation of the agreement on a Russian military base

in Abkhazia in air defense was signed by the military agencies of Russia

and Abkhazia.



"It will make the next step in the development of the legal and regulatory

framework of Russian-Abkhaz relations in the military sphere," ITAR-TASS

quotes the Chief of International Military Cooperation of the Russian

Ministry of Defense, Sergey Koshelev.



The protocol, Koshelev explained, regulates the interaction between the

parties in organizing air defense, including the procedure for combat duty

of the Russian military base in the air, and is aimed to ensure the

security of Russia and Abkhazia.



A similar protocol with South Ossetia was signed on 28 January 2014.
