Russian President Dmitri Medvedev during a conversation with the
journalists announced that Russia will establish relations with South
Ossetia and Abkhazia in full program including provision of security
and allocation of military bases in those republics.
Medvedev mentioned that it is not dramatic that only a few countries
recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. "We are
not going to ask anybody. They who take similar decision will help us,
but it will not harm their international status", stated the President
of Russia adding, "It is only a matter of time".
