Georgia has cut off diplomatic relations with the Syrian Arab Republic, after Syria recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states, oc-media.org reports.
In a press briefing, Georgia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Davit Dondua said that by recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent, ‘Assad’s regime supported the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Georgia, illegal occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and years long ethnic cleansing’.
