ბორდერიზაცია

[TRANSLATE] Since 2008, Russia has pursued aggressive borderization, installing fences and barriers along Administrative Boundary Lines (ABLs), often shifting deeper into Georgian territory. The EU Monitoring Mission (EUMM), established October 1, 2008, documents this process but is denied access to occupied territories. Borderization is viewed internationally as 'creeping annexation' [TRANSLATE] EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia.

ჰუმანიტარული გავლენა

[TRANSLATE] Borderization restricts freedom of movement, cuts off access to farmlands and water resources, separates villages with barbed wire, and leads to arbitrary arrests for 'illegally crossing' boundaries. Some residents have been forced to leave their homes.
