/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In case of unanimous consent of CIS member countries,
Abkhazia and South Ossetia may be accepted to the Commonwealth.
"The CIS charter doesn't prevent from accepting new members. However,
accession can be blocked by any objecting country," CIS executive
secretary Sergei Lebedev said.
At that, he remarked that Abkhazia and South Ossetia's joining the
CIS is unlikely at the moment, as none of CIS member states, except
Russia, has recognized independence of the breakaway republics so far.
