    S.OSSETIA, ABKHAZIA TO ASK ECUADOR TO RECOGNIZE INDEPENDENCE

    RIA Novosti
    Oct 30, 2009

    MOSCOW, October 30 (RIA Novosti) - South Ossetia and Abkhazia will
    officially ask Ecuador to recognize their independence, the former
    Georgian republics' foreign ministers told RIA Novosti on Friday.

    The news followed Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa's promise on
    Friday to consider the requests should they be submitted. Correa
    arrived on a three-day visit to Russia on Wednesday.

    "South Ossetia will submit an official request. We will be grateful
    to the leadership of Ecuador and any other country that recognizes
    our independence," South Ossetian Foreign Minister Murat Dzhioyev said.

    "We are working on the issue. Abkhazia has already made certain steps
    in this direction, and will continue working," Abkhaz Foreign Minister
    Sergei Shamba said. The ministers did not specify the date.

    Russia recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent republics
    shortly after a five-day war with Georgia in August 2008 that began
    when Georgian forces attacked South Ossetia in an attempt to bring
    it back under central control.

    Nicaragua and Venezuela have also recognized the two former Georgian
    republics.
