Bolivia, Ecuador to Recognize Abkhazia’s Independence

13:07 – 03.04.10

Bolivia and Ecuador may soon recognize Abkhazia’s independence, the
republic’s foreign minister said on Friday, reports Russian news
source RIA-Novosti.

"We expect Bolivia and Ecuador to recognize the independence of
Abkhazia soon because there is a positive attitude to our country
there," Maxim Gvindzhiya, who is heading the Abkhaz delegation in
Latin America, told journalists.

The delegation has visited Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Ecuador.

Russia recognized Abkhazia and another breakaway republic of Georgia,
South Ossetia, as independent shortly after a five-day war with
Georgia in August 2008.

Nicaragua, Venezuela and the tiny Pacific island nation of Nauru have
also recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
