Turkish citizen Mehmet Öztürk was sentenced by a Georgian court (the Gagra City Court in exile) to 24 years of imprisonment for illegally crossing the Georgian border and breaching the “rules of navigation on occupied territory.” Öztürk was the captain of a Panamanian-flagged tanker delivering oil products to Abkhazia, a Georgian breakaway province. Georgia also seized and confiscated the tanker. In response Abkhazia has threatened to seize Georgia-bound ships.
