    ArmInfo. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed decrees on
    recognition of independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia by Russia.

    "Taking into account the free expression of the will of Ossetian and
    Abkazian peoples, following the provisions of the UN Regulations,
    the 1970 Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning
    friendly relations between the states, the OSCE's Helsinki Final Act
    of 1975, and other fundamental international documents, I signed the
    decrees on Russia's recognition of independence of South Ossetia and
    Abkhazia", the president said in his TV statement, Tuesday.

    According to him, Russia calls on other states to follow its
    example. "This is not an easy choice, but this is the only opportunity
    to save human lives.

    The Georgian troops' night shooting in Tskhinvali caused death
    of hundreds of peaceful citizens of Russia. Moreover, Russian
    peacemakers, who completely carried out their duty of protecting
    peaceful population, died", he noted.

    "Tbilisi made its choice August 8, 2008 night. Saakashvili chose
    genocide to solve his political problems. Thus, he crossed out with his
    own hand all the hopes for peaceful existence of Ossetians, Abkhazians
    and Georgians in one state. Peoples of South Ossetia and Abkhazia
    have come out with the support of their republics' independence at
    referendums for several times. We realize that after what happened
    in Tskhinvali and what was planned in Abkhazia, they have the right
    to determine their fate themselves", Medvedev said in conclusion.
