    DPA: IRAN, BOLIVIA, VENEZUELA CAN RECOGNIZE INDEPENDENCE OF SOUTH OSSETIA, ABKHAZIA

    ARKA
    Sep 3, 2008

    YEREVAN, September 3. /ARKA/. Iran, Bolivia and Venezuela may follow
    Russia's example recognizing the independence of South Ossetia and
    Abkhazia, according to Aram Sargsyan, leader of the Democratic Party
    of Armenia (DPA).

    "I believe some states will recognize the republics of South Ossetia
    and Abkhazia," the MP said. "It is quite natural that some countries
    hesitate over the issue, as Russia's recognition of the breakaway
    regions' independence was like a gust, and it was not a premeditated
    action."

    On August 26, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed decrees
    recognizing the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. He also
    called other states to follow Russia's example.

    The DPA leader said other countries had not negotiated over the
    independence of Georgia's breakaway regions. According to him, it
    will take some time while other states recognize the independence of
    South Ossetia and Abkhazia, as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
    (SCO) did.

    SCO member-states backed on August 28 Moscow's six principles of
    settling the conflict in South Ossetia.

    Sargsyan did not rule out some courtiers following example of CSTO
    member-states which had adopted a "silence-gives-consent" policy on
    the issue.

    "Armenia is either to recognize the independence of South Ossetia and

    Abkhazia or not," the MP said.
