The outcome of unwise advice -call in Washington "recognition of the so-called Abkhazia and South Ossetia by Syria". According to the US State Department spokesperson, this decision of the Assad regime has nothing to do with the reality and the United States continues to support Georgia"s sovereignty and territorial integrity. According to Heather Nauert , this decision of the Syrian authorities was not unexpected for Washington.

"The fact of the recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia by Syria was not a complete surprise for us because of the simple reason that Bashar al-Assad"s regime supports Russia"s regime." Territories occupied by Russia - South Ossetia and Abkhazia are part of Georgia, we continue to support its sovereignty and independence as well as territorial integrity in its internationally recognized borders. Assad"s decision was unreasonable, we call it a result of the bad advice and it has nothing to do with reality or our position on this issue, "- says Heather Nauert .
