The Assad regime’s decision has nothing to do to change the reality or our position on the matter, – Heather Nauert, Spokesperson for the US Department of State stated. 

“I think in terms of the news why Syria has now recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia, this isn’t a complete surprise to us simply because Bashar al-Assad is propped up by the Russian regime. The Russian-occupied regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia are integral parts of Georgia.

We continue to support Georgia’s sovereignty, its independence, its territorial integrity, within its internationally recognized borders; and the Assad regime’s – we’d call it an ill-advised decision, to say the least – has nothing to do to change the reality or our position on the matter,” said Heather Nauert.

Syria recognized independence of Georgia’s two occupied regions – Abkhazia and South Ossetia on May 29. Georgia launched procedures for suspension of diplomatic relations with Syria.
