recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent
states and plans to establish bases in these terrorities
(ref. A) to Julian Juarez Cadenas, Deputy Director General
for UN-Related Security and Legal Issues at the Foreign

interlocutors are fully aware that the Government of Mexico

agreements between Georgia and Russia.
