Georgia says recalls diplomatic staff from Russia

None

Georgia has recalled all but two of its diplomats from Moscow following Russia's decision to recognize the country's two rebel regions, Georgian Foreign Minister Ekaterine Tkeshelashvili said on Wednesday.

 

"We have decided to recall our diplomats from the Georgian embassy in Moscow, but two will stay," Tkeshelashvili said. Georgia recalled its ambassador to Russia in July 2008 after Russia sent fighter jets into Georgian airspace. (Reuters)
