/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia’s recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia’s
independence would be a serious blunder, U.S. Assistant Secretary of
State Daniel Fried told Rustavi-2 Georgian TV company.
"The U.S. position is unchangeable. Resolution of the
Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-South Ossetian conflicts should be
peaceful, with Georgia’s territorial integrity guaranteed," Fried said.
Last Friday, the Russian State Duma called on the President and
government to recognize independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
