Revelations of grievances

The Federal Security Service announced the exposure of an agent of the Georgian special services. As Interfax reports, an FSB representative claims that the suspect has already confessed. According to Russian intelligence services, we are talking about a native of Georgia, Ramzan Turkoshvili, who has Russian citizenship.
“Some time ago, in the territory of the Southern Federal District, the activities of an agent of the Georgian special services, 34-year-old Chechen-Kist Ramzan Turkoshvili, a citizen of Russia, but a native of Georgia, were suppressed,” ITAR-TASS reports, citing an FSB representative. The FSB claims that Turkoshvili was supposed to establish contacts between the Georgian special services and illegal armed groups on Russian territory. In addition, he was allegedly instructed to negotiate with traffic police officers “on the unhindered movement of terrorists across the territory of the North Caucasus republics.” Turkoshvili’s duties, according to the FSB, also included “collecting information about military personnel and government employees for recruitment by the Georgian special services.” The FSB representative claims that Turkoshvili was recruited by members of the Georgian special services with the participation of Zelimkhan Khangoshvili. The latter, according to the FSB, is the leader of a terrorist group that is hiding in the Pankisi Gorge of Georgia. Members of the group are accused of committing terrorist acts on the territory of Ingushetia.
So this is not just about catching a “spy,” but specifically about the fact that “the exposure of the agent confirms the participation of Georgian special services in subversive terrorist activities in the North Caucasus.” Obviously, this dubious “compromising evidence” is needed to discredit Georgia, but in whose eyes exactly it is not very clear: either the international community should believe it, or the product was created for domestic consumption. Or simply out of resentment at the UN resolution. It is interesting that today the Georgian State Minister for Reintegration Temur Yakobashvili arrives in Moscow for a two-day visit. This is the first attempt by the Georgian side to start a dialogue with Russia after the inauguration of Dmitry Medvedev. During the visit, we will talk about resolving conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. “We consider Russia no longer a mediator, but a party to conflicts. But even more so, we need to work with Moscow,” the minister said on the eve of the visit.
