The statement of the ambassador of France in Georgia that it is Georgia responsible for unleashing the war in August, 2008 and genocide of the Ossetians in the twenties of the last century, testifies that the western policy of "double standards» cracks from time to time. It has been declared the news agency "Res» by the Plenipotentiary of the President of the RSO on post conflict settlement Boris Chochiev. «In his recent interview the former President of Georgia Eduard Shevardnadze has already said about the responsibility of Georgia for unleashing the war in August, 2008, and, at last, the western diplomats are telling about it», - the Plenipotentiary has said. In his opinion, the world community imagines objectively enough a picture of the August events in 2008. «It’s another story that many countries do not recognize this truth because they are the direct or indirect participants of the aggression», - Chochiev has declared.

10 citizens of Georgia detained for illegal crossing of the frontier of South Ossetia on June, 18-19, 2011 have been expelled from the Republic of South Ossetia. Their transference has taken place on the state border of the Republic of South Ossetia and Georgia between the town Tskhinval and the village Ergnet.

The analysis of the recent years` events allows telling that the world has been learning more truth about the Georgian aggression of August, 2008 against South Ossetia Everybody knows well the main conclusion of the Report of the European Union independent commission, established after the August war and led by the Swiss diplomat Heidi Taliavini that Georgia has launched the war. Among the recent publications it would be remarkable the interview of the ambassador of France in Georgia Eric Furnje to the Georgian magazine "Tbilisebi" where he has made Georgia: responsible for the war launching: «you cannot rewrite history and search for responsibility in some other place, instead of its real location». What is much more important thing, that first for a long time the high rank European politician has mentioned a subject of genocide of the Ossetian people on the part of the Menshevist Georgia in the twenties of the last century.

On June, 22, 2011 the Dzausky district court has delivered a judgment of expelling ten Georgian citizens who on June, 18 and 19 of the current year were detained by the South-Ossetian frontier guards next to the village Koz in Dzausky region of the Republic of South Ossetia for illegal crossing of the state border of the Republic of South Ossetia and Georgia.

South Ossetia declares that it has warned the representatives of the EU Mission of observers about possible infringements of the state border in Dzausky region of the Republic on June, 18-19, 2011 in good time. As the representative of the President of the RSO on post conflict settlement Merab Chigoev has informed the news agency "Res", the corresponding statement was made during the next meeting of mechanisms on prevention of incidents in the village Dvan on June, 17.

In his interview to the Georgian magazine "Тbiliselebi" the ambassador of France Eric Furnje has declared: «In Georgia responsibility for the war is being searched not where it should be searched for. Who has launched the war? Who the first has started firing Tskhinval? You cannot rewrite the history and search for responsibility in other place, instead of its real location. Digging a bit more deeply one should demand explanations not in France or in any other country, but from the Menshevist republic which in 1921 exterminated the Ossetian population». This fair statement has caused a storm of indignation among the Georgian political ersatz-elite. A chairman of the interim parliamentary commission on rehabilitation of the territorial integrity of Georgia Shota Malashkhia declares that «the ambassador of France in Georgia Eric Furnje does not know the modern history of Georgia».

Russia has not simply fulfilled, but has exceeded the obligations within the frames of the Medvedev-Sarkozy plan. It has been declared the news agency "Res" by the Plenipotentiary of the President of the RSO on post conflict settlement Boris Chochiev, making comments on the statement of the speaker of the Georgian Parliament David Bakradze that Russia is forced to fulfill the taken obligations. «The Russian peacemakers will have to leave their stationing places only after a legally obliging document of non-use of force by Georgia against South Ossetia and Abkhazia is adopted», - Chochiev has said, having added that Russia exceeded the obligations within the frames of the Medvedev-Sarkozy plan, having withdrawn its troops from the positions occupied by them before the August war. Chochiev has noticed that today, considering this fact, South Ossetia has to ask the international community to force Georgia to sign the legally obliging document on non-use of force. As regards the statement of Bakradze about «strengthening of the international monitoring in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and also about the withdrawal of the Russian military bases from these republics», Chochiev has declared that, under the Medvedev-Sarkozy agreement, the full withdrawal of the Russian peacekeeping troops from the zones adjoining to South Ossetia and Abkhazia will be carried out within ten days after expansion of the international mechanisms in this area. «We mean the area adjoining to South Ossetia, but not the territory itself, - the Plenipotentiary has specified. - so I advise Bakradze to read these documents better and more attentively».
