Georgia breaks ties with Moscow
Georgia has broken diplomatic relations with Russia,
heightening hostilities between the neighbours as Moscow also
hit back at Western criticism.
Georgia announced on Friday the split three days after Russia
formally recognised the Georgian breakaway regions of South
Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states.
"Georgia is cutting diplomatic ties with the Russian
Federation," Grigol Vashadze, the deputy foreign minister,
told the AFP news agency.
"In such situations, Russian diplomats will have to leave
Georgia. Only consular relations will be maintained."
