VOA标准英语2008年-US Condemns Russian Recognition of Breakaway Ge
时间：2019-01-13 作者：英语课 分类：VOA标准英语2008年（八月）
The United States has joined European allies in rejecting the recognition announcement, with the White House calling the action on Abkhazia and South Ossetia one of a number of irrational 2 decisions by Moscow.Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, acting 3 a day after the parliament in Moscow voted for recognition, insisted Moscow had been forced to take the step after Georgia's attempt to take control of South Ossetia early this month.
President Bush, in a written statement from Texas, said the action only exacerbates 4 tensions and complicates 5 diplomacy 6 in the wake of this month's Georgian crisis, and he urged Moscow to reconsider the irresponsible decision.
Condoleezza Rice speaks at a joint 7 press conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, 26 Aug 2008
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, at a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, said Russia's move to recognize areas clearly within the borders of Georgia is regrettable, and contrary to international accords supported by Moscow including the recent Georgia cease-fire.
"It puts Russia of course in opposition 8 to a number of Security Council resolutions to which it is party as a member of the Security Council, as a member of the United Nations, and most appallingly 9 as a member of the P-5 [permanent Security Council members]," she said. "The cease-fire also talked about the importance of moving forward to an international way to deal with these zones of conflict, so to preempt 10 those international discussions is extremely unfortunate. Not only has the United States warned about this, but so has Europe."
Rice said any attempt by Moscow to try to validate 11 the recognition of the two regions as independent in the U.N. Security Council would be dead on arrival.
She said various Security Council resolutions supported by Moscow itself recognize the sovereignty and territorial 12 integrity of Georgia within internationally recognized borders that include two regions.
Russia contends that Western countries undermined arguments for the sanctity of Georgia's borders by endorsing 13 Kosovo's independence from Moscow's ally Serbia earlier this year.
But U.S. and European officials say Kosovo was a unique case, and that the Security Council implicitly 14 authorized 15 independence when it tasked U.N. envoy 16 Martti Ahtisaari to find a solution when negotiations 17 between Kosovars and Serbia failed.
A senior U.S. official who spoke 18 to reporters here said he expected few, if any, countries to follow Russia's lead in recognizing the two areas and that Moscow is isolating 19 itself with the clearly unacceptable diplomatic maneuver 20.
