U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, co-chair of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, called on Syria’s new leadership to withdraw its recognition of Georgia’s Russian-occupied regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
In a post on X, Wilson said he had urged Syrian Foreign Minister Shibani in February to reverse the Assad regime’s “wrongful decision” and recognize the two territories as part of Georgia. “This simple step would show deep strength and commitment to Syria’s new path,” Wilson wrote.
