ArmInfo. It is very much possible that Russian president will keep the
problem of recognition of Abkhazia’s and South Ossetia’s independence
hover, Armenian political expert, director of "Kavkaz" institute
Aleksandr Iskandaryan told ArmInfo correspondent when commenting
on today’s statement of Russian Federal Council. ‘The issue will
be taken by the president to observe but will be delayed because of
some reasons. Several factors are evidence of this, as recognition of
these two republics’ independence first of all depends on development
of relations between the USA and Russia’, – he said.
He also added that in case of worsening of the relations with the USA
Russia may immediately recognize independence of Abkhazia and South
Ossetia. In that case almost all the states, which are unfriendly to
the USA, will follow Russia’s example.
Today morning Federation Council of Russia applied to President
Dmitriy Medvedev with an application to recognize independence of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
