Russian media reports that country’s President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with his South Ossetian counterpart Leonid Tibilov, said that Russia expects to build up good relations with all countries of the Caucasus.
Putin also praised the recent positive trends in the region, namely the Georgian opposition winning the parliamentary elections.
Note, Georgia is the only country in the Caucasus which breached ties with Russia for its recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Moscow refused to resume relations with Mikhail Saakashvili’s regime.
