ANKARA (AA) - Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria will recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia’s unilateral independence from Georgia, media reports said on Tuesday.

According to Syria’s official SANA news agency, Assad regime had an agreement to recognize the independence of two regions.

The regime will establish diplomatic ties at the embassy level, the reports added.

Abkhazia and South Ossetia, self-declared independent states, are disputed areas between Russia and Georgia.

Moscow recognized the independence of the Georgian breakaway regions after a six-day war with Georgia in 2008.

The only UN member states to recognize the breakaway regions are Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Nauru.
