French Foreign Ministry reacts to Russia’s latest moves.
Q - What’s your reaction to the Kremlin’s announcement about forging closer ties with the Georgian separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia?
We noted with concern Moscow’s decision to strengthen its direct ties with the separatist authorities of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
We are waiting for detailed information on these measures and invite the parties to avoid any escalation.
The international community reaffirmed, in UN Security Council resolution 1808 its support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.
We unconditionally support the efforts of the OSCE and the Group of Friends of the UN Secretary-General to achieve a lasting, comprehensive settlement of the conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
