Post SCO's move on Georgia, it is a mere cakewalk for Russia to build support in other regional groups
Diplomatic lingo and lexicons used in international diplomacy leave enough space for warring parties to manoeuver and interpret declarations and claim tactical ‘wins’. Last week’s meeting of Shanghai Corporation Organisation (SCO) was no different. Whatever the decision was, both Russia and the West claimed tactical victory.
China and four Central Asian nations – members of erstwhile Soviet Republic – inked an avowal supporting Russia's position in the Caucasus, however, also putting across “deep concern” over the Georgia conflict and calling for a negotiated resolution. In a joint communiqué, the leaders of China, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan declared that they “support the active role of Russia in assisting peace and cooperation in the region.” In a clear rebuttal to Russia’s recognition to the Georgian breakaway province of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, the SCO also “express(ed) its deep concern over the recent tensions surrounding the South Ossetia question and call for the sides to peacefully resolve existing problems through dialogue." However, it is also true that the communiqué stopped short of an explicit citing of Russia's pronouncement to recognise the rebel provinces.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said the statement showed a “united position” on the Georgia conflict, and Kremlin officials specified they were happy with its phrasing. “The SCO statement is a great victory by Russia, which has so far been in a vacuum.
