The Foreign Ministries of Abkhazia and South Ossetia commented on the speech of Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze at the UN General Assembly, in which he called on Abkhazia and South Ossetia to live in a single state.

"Once again we heard the repeated rhetoric of the Georgian leadership with the same mythical terms from time to time. We believe that if the Georgian leadership continues in the same spirit, we will not achieve positive results in overcoming the past," Sukhum said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Abkhazia once again called on Georgia to sign a legally binding document on the non-use of force and recognize the Republic of Abkhazia as a sovereign and independent state.

South Ossetia also stated that Tbilisi's position has not undergone fundamental changes in relation to South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

"Operating with non-existent terminology and facts, rhetoric that is far from reality, says that the past does not let go of Georgia and Georgian politicians. The position of South Ossetia is well known, and it has been repeatedly voiced over the years. The signing by Georgia with the Republic of South Ossetia of a legally binding document on security guarantees is still a key one. At the same time, we proceed from the need to recognize the existing geopolitical realities that have developed in the region since August 2008," the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry said.

Prime Minister of Georgia Kobakhidze on September 25 at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly in New York called on Abkhazia and South Ossetia to live in a single Georgian state

"All the actions we are taking are aimed at helping our people so that one day we and our children can live together in one happy, united and developed Georgia," Kobakhidze said.

According to Kobakhidze, all parties should "restore the destroyed bridges in our country."

As EADaily reported, earlier some Western and Georgian media claimed that Kobakhidze would announce at the UN that an act of non-use of force had been signed with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which Tbilisi had refused for many years. This would mean recognition by recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia as parties to the conflict. However, this did not happen this time either.
