NATO Spokesman, James Appathurai has commented on the recognition of Georgia`s breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia by Russia. Appathurai said the attempts of the separatist regions to gain international recognition have apparently failed.
Russia recognized independence of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region of Georgia exactly a year ago. Today the separatists are celebrating the first anniversary of their independence.
While speaking with media in Brussels, the NATO spokesman said that only Nikaragua and Russia have so far recognized these two regions, therefore, the attempts of Moscow to gain international support in its decision, have failed.
