Speaking to the OSCE in Vienna, Bezhuashvili also suggested that Russia has sent loyalists into South Ossetia in a bid to expand its influence there.
The Georgian minister said most of those serving in the South Ossetian government were Russian citizens, and he accused Russia of illegally granting citizens of the republic Russian citizenship.
He said that those in the region who express pro-Georgian sympathies face "arrest and detention."
