Zalkaliani: non-recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia are main direction of Georgia's foreign policy

The Georgian Foreign Ministry is making every effort to ensure that the number of countries that recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia does not increase, the Deputy Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani said."One of the main challenges is the policy of non-recognition, and we take it very seriously and are working intensively in this direction. One of the main goals of all visits - of the Foreign Ministry and the Government of Georgia - is non-recognition, and we never, not for one day, cease attempts in this direction," Zalkaliani was quoted by News-Georgia.Such a statement by Zalkaliani is associated with the words today of the Georgian President, Mikhail Saakashvili, who said that during his visits abroad he should be accompanied by diplomats, as this is how "the issue of the recognition of the occupied territories of Georgia is addressed."
