TBILISI. Feb 19 (Interfax) - The U.S. Department of State issued a
statement on Tuesday saying that any territorial conflict is unique and
cannot be resolved using the fact of unilateral declaration of autonomy
by Kosovo.
In its statement, the U.S. Department of State said separatist
conflict in the world is unique and called on the international
community to refrain from making public statements that jeopardize a
peaceful settlement for conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The Department of State also called on all countries and
organizations to re-confirm the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
Georgia within the borders recognized by the UN Security Council.
