On July 20 Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili convened a special session of the National Security Council amid reporters over the dispatching of addition military hardware from Russia into Georgia’s breakaway South Ossetia.
“We discussed a plan of action over preventing the infiltration of armored vehicles into the conflict zone from Russia,” the Chief of Staff of the Georgian Armed Forces, Givi Iukuridze, told reporters after the session of the National Security Council.
Georgian official say that the armament moved into the breakaway region via the tunnel at Roki Pass, which links South Ossetia with Russia’s North Ossetian Republic.
