"When Assad recognizes you, it means that you are illegitimate and bloody regime is your ally and both are Putin"s client regimes," said Giga Bokeria, one of the leaders of the "European Georgia" on the Recognition of so-called South Ossetia and occupied Abkhazia.

However, according to Giga Bokeria, the fact indicates problems inside the government and if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs learns about the recognition of the occupied regions from the media this confirms the agency’s irresponsibility.

"If it is confirmed that the Foreign Ministry heard about it from the press, it is a diagnose within our government, because we have the government to work with the worst regimes in order to avoid the recognition. We have all the reasons to think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Did not carry out proper works, "said Gig Bokeria.
