Georgia will bear full responsibility for a possible flaring of tensions in response to any of its decision to deploy more security forces in the conflict zone in the breakaway province of South Ossetia without permission, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin told journalists on Tuesday. \"Georgian special units entered the Georgian [South] Ossetian conflict zone on May 27,\" he said. \"The Foreign Ministry of Russia is concerned about this situation and warns that Georgian will bear full responsibility for any similar measures aimed at stirring tensions in the conflict zone,\" the spokesman said.

Georgia\'s newly deployed units \"have blocked the joint peacekeeping force\'s posts manned by Russian peacekeepers,\" Kamynin said. \"Events did not follow the worst-case scenario and bloodshed was avoided only thanks to the self-control of Russian peacekeepers,\" he said. \"The Foreign Ministry of Russia views these actions by Georgia as a gross violation of all multilateral agreements and regards them as a provocation designed to stir tensions in the conflict zone,\" Kamynin said.
