Speaking on 31 May at a joint press conference at Interfax, Abkhaz Prime Minister Anri Djergenia and South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoiti accused Georgia of planning to launch new hostilities against their unrecognized republics under the guise of a crackdown on international terrorism. They pledged mutual military assistance in the event of an attack on either republic. In March, Kokoiti had denied that South Ossetia and Abkhazia had concluded any such mutual assistance pact. Kokoiti said the conflict between South Ossetia and the central Georgian government can only be resolved by peaceful negotiations. Djergenia for his part called for closer economic cooperation between Abkhazia and Russia.
