South Ossetia will host commemorative events dedicated to the 18th anniversary of the Georgian aggression against the Republic in August 2008.

As reported to IA Red by the republican commission for the preparation and holding of nationally significant events, the commemorative program will begin on August 1.

In the lead-up to the anniversary, the republican media will publish materials about the August 2008 events, as well as archival photos and videos, documentaries, and memoirs dedicated to the defenders of South Ossetia and the tragic events of the war.

The Ossetian people, who have experienced the bitterness of armed aggression firsthand, share the pain of their Transnistrian brothers and bow their heads in memory of their heroes, the message of Foreign Minister Akhsar Dzhioev to his Transnistrian counterpart, Vitaly Ignatyev, reads.

Dzhioev sent the PMR Minister words of sympathy and support on the Day of Remembrance for the Fallen and Deceased Defenders of Transnistria.

Тhe South Ossetian Foreign Ministry assessed Naoero's decision to sever diplomatic relations as the result of external pressure.

The South Ossetian Foreign Ministry took note of the decision of the Republic of Naoero (formerly Nauru) to terminate diplomatic relations, calling this move the result of external pressure unrelated to the bilateral agenda.

The South Ossetian Foreign Ministry's statement noted that the Naoero government had been under significant pressure for a long time, often involving threats.

The head of the official representation of South Ossetia in Transnistria, Vitaly Yankovsky, took part in the ceremonial events in honor of the 34th anniversary of the start of the peacekeeping operation on the Dniester, the press service of the Republic’s Foreign Ministry reports.

A flower-laying ceremony was held at the Peace Arch “Blessed are the Peacemakers,” installed in 2017 at the entrance to the village of Parkany, and the events continued in Bendery.

A memorandum of cooperation between the Government of South Ossetia and the presidential platform "Russia – Land of Opportunity" was signed at the Senezh Management Workshop by Andrey Betin, General Director of the presidential platform, Rector of the Senezh Municipal University, and Marat Kambolov, Acting President of South Ossetia.

South Ossetian authorities have deported the Georgian border violator from the Republic, the KGB press service reported.

The agency has reported that Gabadze Merabi, 59, a resident of the village of Perevi in ​​the Sachkhere Municipality, was detained the day before by the South Ossetian border guards.

"It was established that the violator unintentionally crossed the South Ossetian-Georgian border near the village of Sinagur in the Dzau District. He was deported from the Republic on Monday," the Committee reported.

The attacks on civilian targets where families with children were vacationing are a demonstration of the absolute inhumanity and moral degradation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to the message of condolence from Aelita Dzhioeva, the Children's Rights Commissioner for South Ossetia.

"This latest tragedy, which took the lives of eight civilians, including two children, and injured three more children in Zaporozhye region, brings deep pain to our hearts.

Over the past period, South Ossetia has recorded the over flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from Georgia. This was reported by Yegor Kochiev, head of the South Ossetian delegation, while sharing with journalists the results of the IPRM meeting held on Thursday in the village of Ergnet.

According to Yegor Kochiev, the South Ossetian side carefully records all such incidents, but a full investigation requires the most accurate data possible.

Today marks the 8th anniversary of the signing of the Agreement on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the Republic of South Ossetia and the Syrian Arab Republic, as well as the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between the two countries.

In its congratulatory message on this occasion, the South Ossetian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the signing ceremonies of bilateral documents held in Damascus on July 22 and 23, 2018, laid the legal foundation for political, economic, and cultural cooperation between South Ossetia and Syria.

The situation on the South Ossetian-Georgian border will be discussed on Thursday at the meeting within the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM).

The key topic of discussion in Ergnet will once again be the removal of the Georgian police post from the South Ossetian village of Uista, set up in late August 2019.

The participants will also analyze the current border security situation and review statistics on violations recorded since the previous meeting.
