Georgia\'s breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia may offer \"military assistance\" to each other \"if there emerges a need for mutual support,\" Abkhaz President Sergei Bagapsh said on Tuesday. Bagapsh issued the warning at a news conference after talks in Gagra between him and his South Ossetian counterpart, Eduard Kokoity. The Abkhaz leader said, however, that this could not been seen as a plan for a military bloc. Kokoity said that \"South Ossetia and Abkhazia are ready for peace negotiations with Georgia, but on equal terms.\" (Interfax)
