Interim President of Venezuela Juan Guaido has thanked the Georgian government for its support in the fight of the Venezuelan people for freedom and democracy.
- Venezuela likely to revoke recognition of Georgian occupied regions if interim gov’t preserves power
Guado made the statement during his meeting with Georgian Ambassador to Brazil David Solomonia, on the sidelines of the 11th foreign ministerial of the Lima Group composed of 14 countries in Bogota yesterday, assembled to find solutions to the political and economic crisis in Venezuela.
Guaido stated … that the existing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela will end soon with the support of the international community. He also expressed hope that the political crises created by Maduro’s regime will be defeated through the democratic transition of power,” the Georgian Foreign Ministry says.
The latest meeting in Bogota comes amid the severe humanitarian crisis in the country as Maduro’s illegitimate government, which came to power after the fabrication of elections, prevened international humanitarian aid from entering the country, the Georgian Foreign Ministry reports.

The Bogota meeting ended with a declaration in which the 14 countries expressed readiness to provide humanitarian and political support for the interim government and the Venezuelan people.
The interim government of Venezuela is likely to revoke the recognition of the two Georgian regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) as independent republics when officially elected.
Only Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru and Syria have recognised the regions as independent states since the Russia-Georgia war in 2008, with the influence of Russia.
The rest of the international community says that the regions are occupied by Russia.
Georgia shares the position of the international community and says that the country does not recognize the legitimacy of Nicolas Maduro as the president of Venezuela.
Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze has stated that Georgia firmly supports the interim government of Venezuela under the leadership of Juan Guaido and says that he is sure that the political force will win its fight against Nicolas Maduro.
Reliable sources say that the interim government of Venezuela under leader Juan Guaido will revoke Venezuela’s recognition of the two occupied regions of Georgia Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) if they manage to stay in power.
Georgia has joined the US and other foreign states which have recognised Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president. Georgian Foreign Ministry hopes that the political process in Venezuela will continue peacefully and the country’s legitimate government will join the international community.
The Permanent Mission of Georgia to Geneva has organized the event named Human Rights Abuses and Violations in Venezuela with missions of the United States, Albania, Argentina and other countries.
Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze has stated that the Georgian government, which recognised the interim government of Venezuela under Juan Guaido earlier this year, is standing by the Venezuelan people who are fighting against the undemocratic leadership of Nicolas Maduro.
