**Georgian Dream Refuses to Back Declaration on Syria’s Abkhazia Recognition**
In a move that has raised eyebrows in the country, Georgia’s ruling party, Georgian Dream, has announced its refusal to support a declaration calling on Syria to revoke its recognition of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region.
The declaration, which was proposed by the Coalition for Change, a group of opposition parties, sought to persuade Syria to reconsider its decision to recognize these breakaway regions as independent states. However, Georgian Dream has now stated that it will not be backing this move, citing concerns over the legitimacy of the self-proclaimed governments in Abkhazia and South Ossetia (the Tskhinvali region).
**A Calculated Move?**
Commentators are suggesting that this decision may be a calculated one on the part of Georgian Dream. By refusing to support the declaration, they may be signaling their continued commitment to the current status quo regarding these breakaway regions.
This move could also be seen as an attempt by Georgian Dream to appease Russia, which has long been a key ally in its relations with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The fact that these regions are recognized by Russia but not by most of the international community makes this a delicate issue for Georgia’s ruling party.
**A Message to the International Community?**
By refusing to support the declaration, Georgian Dream may also be sending a message to the international community that it does not recognize the self-proclaimed governments in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This could have implications for future diplomatic efforts, particularly with regard to the normalization of relations between Georgia and these breakaway regions.
In any case, this decision is likely to be seen as another example of the complexities and challenges facing Georgia’s ruling party in its relations with Russia and the breakaway regions. As the country continues to navigate a complex web of international relationships, it remains to be seen how this move will ultimately play out.
