#Georgia: Statement by the Spokesperson on the so-called presidential elections in the Georgian occupied breakaway region of Abkhazia
https://t.co/qtFQRVfQfX
We strongly condemn the holding of the so-called “early presidential elections” on February 15 in the occupied territory of Abkhazia, Georgia
This is a systematic attempt by the Russian Federation to legitimize the pro-Russian separatist regime in the occupied Georgian territory
#Slovakia 🇸🇰 fully supports territorial integrity and sovereignty of #Georgia 🇬🇪and does not recognize the so-called early presidential elections held in Abkhazia on February 15.
It's a long standing position that #Europe#France support #Georgia's territorial integrity and, as a result, consider "elections" in Abkhazia as null and void #OneGeorgia
The so-called ”presidential elections” in the GE region of #Abkhazia are illegitimate, null and void. RO stands firm with GE in support of its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
