The South Ossetian Delegation to the 9th round of Geneva Talks is not going to focus on the discussions; it will address the position of the Co-Chairs in relation to the expected duration of these talks", stated Boris Chochiev, the Special Representative for Post-Conflict Settlement in a phone conversation from Geneva.
"We see no results of these discussions, both in security issues, and humanitarian sphere. Therefore, we'll have different approach to the conversation", underlined the Special Representative.

As reported by Boris Chochiev, the Special Representative for Post-Conflict Settlement, in the phone conversation, a meeting between the South Ossetian Delegation and the top officials of the UNHCR has been planned for 27 January in Geneva. According to him, "the South Ossetian authorities had contacts with this organization before the Georgian aggression of 2008. The UN High Commissioner for António Guterres visited South Ossetia after the aggression through Russia, not Georgia. In Vladikavkaz he met with our refugees, and in Tskhinval, as a result of his meeting with the President Eduard Kokoity, the sides had agreed that the UNCHR would not connect its work with politics and would assist the people of South Ossetia affected by Georgian aggression.
