Breakaway Georgian province Abkhazia filed a complaint with the UN Security Council against Georgia over its seizure of a Panamanian-flagged tanker delivering oil products from Turkey to Abkhazia. Since Georgia considers Abkhazia a part of Georgia, its border control seized the tanker for illegally entering Georgian territorial waters. The Turkish and Azerbaijani crew was fined, the captain was jailed for two months, and the tanker is to be auctioned. In response the Abkhazian authorities declared that they may seize Georgia-bound ships.
