The European Parliament passed here on Wednesday a resolution on Georgia, echoing the stance taken by an extraordinary summit of the European Union on Monday to support Georgia and condemn Russia.
The resolution was voted by 548 in favor, 68 against and 61 abstentions.
Moscow last week recognized Georgia's breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states after a military conflict with Georgia in early August. The conflict ended with a six-point ceasefire agreement brokered by France.
Moscow's decision to recognize the two regions has drawn a storm of criticism from Georgia and the West.
