“”It’s not your business. It’s our territory.” Abkhaz Deputy Foreign Minister Maxim Gvinjia backs the right of the Abkhaz Church to enforce its will on the monks and nuns. “Of course we won’t defend their rights, given the context of current developments...”

This is what the heresy of ethnophyletism looks like. Its another reason why Orthodoxy won’t recognize these characters.

Sure they won't recognize them, just like Russia doesn't recognize Abkhazia as a part of Russia, even they they have just annexed it. They'll just send their Russian Orthodox priests into Georgian Orthodox jurisdiction to proselytize and steal the congregations of their “fellow” Orthodox in cooperation with heretical ethnic separatists who are ethnically cleansing Georgian monks. I don't need to listen to the bold-faced lies of the Russian Orthodox Church, all I need to do is look at what they're doing, the opposite of what they say, just like Russia's KGB leaders.
