Moscow/Tbilisi - Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili called an emergency security council meeting Wednesday in response to Russia strengthening diplomatic ties with its separatist regions, Russian news agencies reported.
Moscow announced Wednesday it would establish legal links with the self-governing republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to "render legal assistance ... to the population of the two republics and to the Russian citizens residing there."
Russia's foreign ministry said it was acting on President Vladimir Putin's recommendation and non-binding parliamentary resolution last month calling for recognition of Georgia's breakaway regions.
