The NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen has made a special statement regarding the so-called presidential elections held in Georgia`s breakaway Abkhazia last Sunday.
`NATO does not recognise the election held on 24 August in the Georgian region of Abkhazia. This election does not contribute to a peaceful and lasting settlement of the situation in Georgia. NATO Allies do not recognise the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions of Georgia as independent states.
