"The Assembly strongly condemns the intention of the so-called "president" of the Tskhinvali region to hold the so-called referendum on the matter of "joining" the Russian Federation, which underscores Russia's policy to illegally and completely annex the occupied territories of Georgia, in violation of Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Assembly reiterates its position that the so-called elections and referenda in the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia are neither legal nor legitimate and hinder the peaceful settlement of the conflict, which it deplores."
The amendment contains updated information.
