Abkhazia Waiting for Russia’s Response
The situation in unrecognized republics, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transdniestria, is one of the issues of today’s agenda of the RF State Duma. The discussion will be held during the parliamentary hearing.
“We are working within legal procedures. There is a fact – the address of respective formations to the world community with the request to recognize their independence. This address couldn’t be left without response, the parliamentary hearing will elaborate respective recommendations,” said Oleg Morozov, first vice speaker at the RF State Duma, the United Russia faction.
Today’s hearing is of no legislative status, Morozov emphasized. Therefore, no decisions on recognizing the independence could be taken today.
Past week, the unrecognized republics again declared their independence and reiterated they would be seeking the sovereignty recognition from the world community. The parliaments of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transdniestria passed the official addresses to quite a few countries and international organizations, including the RF State Duma.
