The Foreign Minister of South Ossetia Murat Djioev called the report of "Imedi" channel Saturday evening about alleged intrusion of Russian troops a provocation causing panic all around Georgia. "This was a provocation aggravating the situation speaks for the fact that the Georgian authorities are getting prepared for certain actions, and bearing in mind the fact that after the broadcast information, Georgian armed forces moved towards the boundary line of South Ossetia", stated Murat Djioev. "With this report, the Georgian authorities expected to threaten the people of Georgia and support the created enemy image of Russia, though Russia and Russian armed forces came to Georgia exclusively as friends and protectors", said the Minister.
According to him, such provocations of the Georgian authorities do not help the settlement of the situation in the Caucasus.
