1. (C) PolCouns raised recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia
(Ref A) with MFA Multilateral Affairs Under Secretary Arturo
Cabrera on February 11, noting that by chance an embassy poloff had
met Abkhazia Vice Foreign Minister at a conference in Quito in
December 2009. Cabrera said that the MFA too was surprised by the
Vice Foreign Minister's visit, and indicated that nothing
materialized from it. He gave the impression that he considered it
unlikely the GOE would recognize South Ossetia or Abkhazia as
independent states, although he did not say so directly. Cabrera
also informed us that the issue was handled by Bilateral Affairs
rather than his office. When the opportunity arises, the Embassy
will raise the issue also with the MFA's Bilateral Affairs office.
