The Russian peace-making operation is a unique one which by firm and harmonious actions promoted peace and stability in South Ossetia throughout many years. It has been declared by the President of the Republic of South Ossetia Eduard Kokoity at the briefing in South Ossetia, speaking about a role of peacemakers in settling up the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. As he has said, each nation has immoral dates of its history.

«In the history of South Ossetia the day of July, 14 will remain forever as the beginning of the peace-making operation. We can say proudly that during these years (1992-2008 – editor comment.) no any peacemaker in South Ossetia has perished», - Kokoity has noted. He has underlined that with coming to power the bloody regime of Saakashvili all efforts have been directed on discrediting the peace-making mission. «I`d like to note, that the Russian and South-Ossetian peacemakers fulfilled their duty courageously and heroically in hard conditions of constant provocations on the part of Georgia. Constant aggravating of the situation seriously complicated their service. But at the same time they have displayed fortitude, courage, high professionalism. Today the people of South Ossetia are celebrating this holiday and pay a tribute to the memory of those who have stopped the genocide of the Ossetian people at the expense of their lives», - the President has said. He has answered a question, whether the independent South Ossetia requires today the international institutes or organizations on controlling over the region situation; Eduard Kokoity has declared that the organizations which are intending to function in the Republic, should refuse a policy of double standards.«For today, certainly, we have excellent results. People of South Ossetia live in peace and there is no danger and threat on the part of our southern neighbours (Georgia). Nevertheless, we do not want to build a wall protecting ourselves from the international community. We are for co-operating with all international institutes and organizations», - the head of the state has emphasized. In turn, the Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Russia in South Ossetia Elbrus Kargiev has said that he is deeply moved how people of South Ossetia celebrate the Peacemaker Day. «The Day of July, 14 is officially brought in the memorial calendar and the state holidays of the Republic of South Ossetia. I would like to express special gratitude to the leadership for unrelenting attention to destiny of the Russian peacemakers, for helping them, not only morally, but also financially», - the Ambassador has declared. It should be reminded that today, on July, 14, South Ossetia is celebrating one of the most significant dates of the modern history - entering the mixed forces on supporting peace into the zone of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. Today is 19 years from the beginning of the peace-making operation with a unique format (except the Russian contingent, the mixed forces on supporting peace also included the Ossetian and the Georgian battalions). The peacemakers entered into the conflict zone on July, 14, 1992. By this moment thousands civilians had become the victims of three-year aggression of Georgia against South Ossetia, 117 Ossetian villages had been burnt, more than 100 thousand Ossetians had been expelled from their houses. The peacemakers’ mission is continued by the Russian military men and frontier guards. According to the friendship treaty, cooperation and mutual aid from September, 17, 2008 and the agreement of joint efforts on protecting the state border from April, 30, 2009 the 4th Russian military base and the FSS Boundary management of the Russian Federation in the RSO have been established.
