South Ossetia once again stated in the framework of the IPRM about the necessity to establish the Commission on delimitation and demarcation of the border

The South Ossetian has presented at a meeting in the framework of the mechanism for preventing and responding to incidents (IPRM) the materials showing deliberate damage of the border signs at the state border between South Ossetia and Georgia, said after a meeting of members of the IPRM in the village of Ergneti Deputy Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy of the Republic of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement Khokh Gagloyty.
"During this period, we recorded three cases of deliberate damage to the boundary signs on the state border, which were fired with combat shooting firearms, - said Gagloyty. - We have earlier informed the IPRM participants that we are concerned about this fact. And today we have declared that we consider conscious damage of the border signs, as the acts of armed provocation. We have noted that in the case of the appropriate response, they should recollect what circumstances have led to the likely consequences. "
Gagloyty has reported that the Georgian side at the meeting raised the question of the specific areas where, according to them, were dug the ditches and trenches.
"A detailed examination of the area revealed that there are two ditches, which block up not some vast areas, but the concrete country roads - said Gagloyty. - The representatives of the competent border units informed us that they had no relation to these ditches, and they had been dug by local residents, thus blocking up the driveway for motor vehicles on their plots of land. It turned out that this area is located on the territory of South Ossetia. "
Gagloyty has noted that in this regard the South Ossetian side once again expressed the need to establish a joint commission on delimitation and demarcation of the border to avoid in future the similar incidents.
"Questions around the perimeter of the state border will periodically arise to further eliminate this, it would be correct to establish the commission, which will deal with the definition of the border line," - stressed Gagloyty.
He has added that the Georgian side presented at the meeting a photomaterial depicting the war machine with shrouded trailer.
"Georgian officials said that it was an anti-aircraft unit, but the persons responsible for this transport, told that the car was a field kitchen, followed by the moving water tank," - said Deputy Envoy.
Gagloyty said that with the approach of the season of collecting wild bladder nut the South Ossetian side called on the Georgian one to carry out the corresponding information work with the population.
"We have urged the participants of the Georgian side to conduct active information work on the border line, about the impossibility and undesirability of its crossing - said Gagloyty. – It will exclude a number of detentions of the border violators in the coming period.
Practice will show whether they held the job or not."
The Deputy Envoy has also said that today the relatives of three South Ossetians, considered the missing, have met with Ambassador of the OSCE Gnaedinger.
"The OSCE is making some efforts to communicate with the Georgian investigating authorities to ensure some progress to clarify the fate of the missing persons, but unfortunately, this does not occur, which, in turn, has also stated the OSCE", - concluded Gagloyty .
