The decision by the Republic of Nauru to revoke diplomatic relations with the so-called Republic of Abkhazia and the so-called Republic of South Ossetia demonstrates once again that respect for and adherence to the norms of international law constitute the bedrock of healthy international relations. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“On July 21, the Government of the Republic of Nauru decided to revoke diplomatic relations with the so-called Republic of Abkhazia and the so-called Republic of South Ossetia.
