Norway refuses to recognise the so-called parliamentary elections held in the Russian-occupied Georgian region of Abkhazia, Helene Sand Andresen, Ambassador of Norway to Georgia and Armenia, said.
On Sunday, the Ambassador reiterated her support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders on Twitter.
Norway does not recognize the so-called parliamentary elections in the Georgian region of Abkhazia. I would like to reiterate our unwavering support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, within its internationally recognized borders.

The de facto authorities of the Russian-occupied Abkhazia held so-called parliamentary elections on Saturday.
The Georgian Foreign Ministry called the elections a “futile attempt to legitimise the illegal occupation” of the country’s territories, calling on Russia to withdraw its 2008 recognition of the Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) regions as independent states.
