Venezuela’s Temporary Government Ready to Abolish Recognition of Occupied Zones

The temporary Venezuelan government is ready to abolish their recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent countries.

Gustavo Tarre Briceno, a Venezuelan politician in the National Assembly and a Special Representative to the Organization of American States, expressed readiness to change their stance during an interview with the Kurier newspaper.

When asked if Venezuela would continue to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia and his opinion on potential difficulties with Venezuela’s relations with Russia, he said “of course. You don't even need to ask this question. We're not going to continue as the Maduro administration. We’re not afraid of the Russian Federation.”

The Former Ambassador to the United States William Braunfeld also spoke about Venezuela’s recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. He believes that Georgia has the right to insist that Venezuela abolishes their recognition.

Venezuela, Russia, Nicaragua, and Syria are among the countries that recognize Georgia’s occupied territories as independent states.
