Gee, wonder if Georgia will start bombing South Ossetia for breaking away?
TBILISI, GEORGIA —
The leader of the breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia announced Friday that a referendum on joining Russia would be held in July.
Russia has exercised effective control over the region since fighting a brief war with Georgia in 2008. Russia and a handful of other countries recognize South Ossetia as an independent state, but most of the world still considers it to be part of Georgia.
