Nicaragua Considering
Diplomatic Relations
With Abkhazia, South
Ossetia
Nicaragua plans to
establish direct
diplomatic relations
with Abkhazia and South
Ossetia, Nicaraguan
Foreign Minister Samuel
Santos Lopez told a
Saturday press
conference after
negotiations with
Russian counterpart
Sergei Lavrov.
"Certainly, we think
that the decision [to
recognize independent
Abkhazia and South
Ossetia] was fair and
appropriate. They [the
republics] must be given
time for inner
formalities. We will
coordinate the
possibility and terms of
direct diplomatic
relations at a
convenient moment," he
said.
"Obviously and
logically, we will be
acting via our friends,
probably Russia, to
establish closer
contacts and diplomatic
relations [with the
republics]" until the
governments of Abkhazia
and South Ossetia
complete the internal
political procedures,
the minister said.
