Moscow/Agency Caucasus - After Security Council of the United Nations (UN) was called on to act as a referee between the administrations of Tbilisi and Moscow over the shooting down of a Georgian spy plane, the Federation Council of Russian postponed its plans to deal with a plea from both Abkhazia and South Ossetia for their recognition.
Aleksandr Torshin, Deputy President of the Federation Council, upper chamber of the Russian parliament, said on Wednesday that neither at today's general assembly nor at the commission meeting over North Caucasus would the issue of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and their will to recognition be dealt with.
"For the time being, it was agreed that this issue should be analyzed only further," said Torshin.
After Kosovo declared its independence, both parliaments of Abkhazia and South Ossetia issued a joint call on the Russian administration to recognize them. The Duma, lower chamber of the Russian parliament, granted approval in the first place to the call of recognition, advising both the Russian government and the Kremlin to recognize the two 'de facto' independent republics. Vladimir Putin, Russia's President, however, chose to improve his country's economic, social, educational and scientific relations with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. It seems like that Abkhazia and South Ossetia have to wait a bit longer to get their recognition. KU/ÖZ/FT
