“International law acknowledges  Georgia’s territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders,” Davit Zalkaliani, Deputy Foreign Minister thus responded to the statement made by Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister in Vienna. “There is no such definition as independent Abkhazia or South Ossetia in international law,” Zalkaliani said.
