The French Embassy in Armenia released a statement in which the
European Union condemns Russia’s recognition of the independence of
Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The EU chairmanship states that Russia’s decision contradicts to
the independence of Georgia, the principles of sovereignty and
territorial integrity set down in the UN regulations, the final
act of the conference on security and cooperation in Europe and the
resolutions of the Council for Security.
In this context, the chairmanship states to advocate Georgia’s
territorial integrity within the internationally recognized borders.
The chairmanship urges for a political settlement of the Georgian
conflicts and intends to discuss the consequences of Russia’s
decision," runs the statement.
