The Russian Foreign Ministry denied on Friday media reports of alleged Russian military buildup in Abkhazia.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Georgian media has disseminated reports alleging that Moscow is planning to construct new military bases and airfields in the Galsky district of Abkhazia, as well as the deployment of a large military contingent there.

"Reports by Georgian media, repeated and circulated by some officials are flagrant speculations made without any attempts to create at least an appearance of being true," the ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RIA Novosti.
