Siukaeva Olga Aleksandrovna, 1969 d.b., an inhabitant of Tskhinval
I live on Heroes Street; this is one of the main streets of Tskhinval where the fights between the Georgian soldiers and the local boys have been taking place during the August war of 2008. On the night of August 8, about 12 o’clock the war has started. Terrible explosions have been resounded; one could not describe all horror which I have suffered that moment. Fear has seized me; I lost my head and instantly fell down on the floor. I was with my elderly mother at home. I have crawled to her room; it was terrible even to lift a head. My poor mother was sitting in the corner, trembling with fear. We have hardly gone down into the cellar, becoming weak in the knees.

The bill of Georgia about issuing the identity cards in South Ossetia and Abkhazia - is absolutely unacceptable for the Republic. It has been declared the news agency "Res" by the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament of the RSO Yury Dzitstsoity in regards to the intention of the Georgian Parliament to consider this question within the next few days. «Georgia, as well as some other countries which support it, pretends that there are no any recognized states, as South Ossetia and Abkhazia. They are ignoring them in each possible way and are searching the so-called" alternative «settlement ways», - has declared Dzitstsoity.

On May, 31, 2011 by the Decree of the President of the Republic of South Ossetia Eduard Kokoity the State Counsellor of the President of the RSO Kozaev Narim Zakharovich was appointed to the position of the Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of South Ossetia in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Yesterday the ex-president of Georgia Edward Shevardnadze has declared that « the films like «The Five days of August "any more will not change the report of the commission of the EU in which is told that the Georgians the first began the military operations, having attacked Tskhinval». The Plenipotentiary of the President of the RSO on the post conflict settlement Boris Chochiev has given the comments about it. «What Shevardnadze has told in three years - the world community knew not only after the August aggression, but also after the report of the independent commission led by Mrs. Hajdi Taljavini», - Chochiev has told.

The visit of the South-Ossetian journalists to Israel at the end of May - the beginning of June, 2011 had the purpose of promoting the development of bilateral contacts. It`s not a secret that the Jews are connected with the capital of the RSO Tskhinval in many respects. According to some information there is the most ancient in the Caucasus synagogue here. And for South Ossetia which is, "owing to" the policy of isolationism, conducted by the international structures, except for Russia practically in vacuum, the contacts both with the West and with the East are very important. A lot of our former compatriots, who have been watching the events in South Ossetia with interest, live in Israel.
