Elisabeth Rood – All members of international community should unite in support of Georgia’s territorial integrity

All members of international community should unite in support of Georgia’s territorial integrity and state sovereignty — Acting US Ambassador to Georgia Elisabeth Rood said at Foreign Ministry where a meeting was held with representatives of Diplomatic Corps accredited in Georgia regarding recognition of so-called independence of Georgia’s two occupied regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia by Syria.

Rood also called on Syria, Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Nauru to reverse the decision on recognition of Georgian occupied regions as independent states. “Abkhazia and South Ossetia are inseparable territories of Georgia,” Rood stated.

Syria recognized independence of Georgia’s two occupied regions – Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Georgia has launched procedures for suspension of diplomatic relations with Syria.
