The appeals of a number of Georgian opposition parties to the new Syrian authorities to revoke recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, first of all, should be considered in the context of the internal political crisis which has been lasting since autumn. The results of the parliamentary elections and the defeat of the political force which was ruling for more than a decade, have been catalyzing processes and public rhetoric, which is obviously destructive. It is, to a greater extent, aimed at increasing its media exposure. Actually, this is observed in the internal political life of Georgia, where protest actions still do not stop.
As for Syria, it is known that after the armed opposition came to power, rather serious changes have been taking place in the country due to the new political reality. South Ossetia is carefully following the processes in Syria. Currently, the country is going through a transitional period, which will end with the formation of a representative branch of government and a system of executive bodies.
The South Ossetian-Syrian bilateral relations were established in compliance with the principles and norms of international legislation in May 2018 and have been developing in the existing format.
