Statement of the Embassy of Japan in Georgia on the so-called "parliamentary elections" in Tskhinvali/South Ossetia

2024/6/10
Japan has consistently supported the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders on the issue of Georgia's occupied regions of Tskhinvali/South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Based on this position, Japan does not recognize the so-called "parliamentary elections" in Tskhinvali/South Ossetia held on June 9 as legitimate.
Japan opposes any attempt to change Georgia's internationally recognized borders.
