It is regrettable that Tbilisi is still adherent to methods of provocative pressure and the Georgian authorities did not learn any lesson in the tragic events of August 2008.
Georgian authorities are very interested in having the activities of international organizations represented in this region in a way that they would symbolizes the territorial integrity of Georgia, including South Ossetia, but this contradicts the current realities and common sense.
We have to once again state that South Ossetia has nothing to do with this state, and considers the decision of the Government of Georgia in relation to international organizations working in South Ossetia interference in internal affairs of a sovereign state. The decision based on the law of Georgia "On Occupied Territories" is inherently provocative.
Despite the fact, that many political figures in the West support the Georgian government, Europeans do understand who was the initiator of instability in the South Caucasus and who caused great danger, even if they do not always admit this. The findings in Tagliavini's Mission report that it was Georgia that waged the war in August 2008, and the explicit conclusions of the report by Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Tomas Hammarberg that the citizens of South Ossetia considered missing were detained by the law enforcement agencies and Georgia and disappered in the depths of the Georgian Interior Ministry, point to Georgia as the side responsible for waged war and its consequences. I wish to believe that international organizations would not take into account this decision and would not politicize their humanitarian mission, but instead would call the Tbilisi authorities to stop such provocative practices.
As to South Ossetia, it is open for a direct dialogue with the international community.
