South Ossetia would never stand against the enemy if it were not for the support of the North Ossetian brothers

Speaker of the South Ossetian Parliament Peter Gassiev met with the delegation of North Ossetia, which arrived at a solemn meeting in honor of the completion of the work of the VI convocation of the Republic’s parliament. Speaker welcomed the guests, noting that such a solemn meeting was held in the Republic for the first time.

“With this event we want to show the work of the Parliament. It seems to me that the importance of the work of the legislative body does not reach our citizens, so it was decided to show our work. It is very important for us that you came to support us on such a day,” Gassiev addressed the delegation.

Deputy Chairman of the Parliament of the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania Gariy Kuchiev spoke positively about the work of the sixth convocation of the Parliament of the Republic.

“We were all following your work. Most of the bills were adopted by your convocation. The fact that you have thus decided to show your work speaks of a serious attitude towards your activities,” said Kuchiev.

He has also noted that the Agreement on cooperation between the legislative bodies of the RNO-Alania and the RSO is at the stage of signing.

“We are always ready to cooperate with our brothers,” said Kuchiev.

For his part, Gassiev noted that South Ossetia would never stand against the enemy if it were not for the support of the North Ossetian brothers.

The delegation also included the deputies of the RNO Parliament - Alania Georgiy Kozaev, Soslanbek Bitarov, Murat Kisiev.

Guests from the Donetsk People’s Republic, led by the Chairman of the People’s Council of the DPR, Vladimir Bidevka, also arrived to attend the solemn events.

Bidiovka thanked the Parliament Speaker for the invitation, noting that it was important for them, because South Ossetia was the first to recognize the independence of the DPR in 2014.

“We have already signed a number of agreements, and one of the last is the Agreement on cooperation between our parliaments, and within this framework, of course, demonstration of the openness of the Parliament’s work will be useful for us to see how it works and gain experience. The work of the parliament should be as transparent as possible so that people understand where the country is going,” he said.

The Chairman of the People’s Council has noted that the DPR parliament is always open for cooperation with South Ossetian parliamentarians.

“Just as South Ossetia always comes to the aid of the DPR in the most difficult times, we, too, are always ready to give a shoulder if we need help,” he added.

Peter Gassiev, in turn, thanked the delegation of the DPR for having confirmed their participation as observers at the parliamentary elections.

During the meeting, by the decree of the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, the head of the Presidential Executive Office, Igor Kozaev, was awarded the distinction for services to the Republic.

Also, by decree of the head of the DPR, Foreign Minister Dmitry Medoev was awarded the Order of Friendship.

The delegation of the DPR also included the deputies of the People’s Council Natalya Pshenichnaya, Vladislav Berdichevsky and the chief specialist of the internal security department of the Office of the People’s Council Vitaly Aleinik.

The delegation of the Republic of Abkhazia also arrived at the solemn meeting. During the meeting with the Parliament Speaker Peter Gassiev, Deputy Speaker of the People’s Assembly – the Parliament of the Republic of Abkhazia Levon Galustyan drew attention to the positive changes in South Ossetia.

“We drove around the city a bit and noticed how Tskhinval was transformed. We are always happy to be in the heroic State of Alanya. The parliament of the sixth convocation of Abkhazia and the parliament of the sixth convocation of the RSO are engaged in fruitful work. It makes sense to continue our cooperation, and we would like to express our confidence on behalf of our speaker that it will progressively develop in the future. We are ready to fully adhere to the existing agreements,” said Galustyan.

Peter Gassiev thanked the delegation of Abkhazia, noting that for the parliamentarians of South Ossetia, their presence at such a significant event is important.

The delegation of Abkhazia has also included the Chairman of the National Assembly Committee - the Parliament of the Republic of Abkhazia on Culture, Youth and Sports Venori Bebiya and the Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly Committee on International, Inter-Parliamentary Relations and Compatriots Astamur Logua.

The Chairman of the Parliament, Peter Gassiev, also hosted a delegation from the Lugansk People’s Republic, headed by the Chairman of the People’s Council of the LPR, Denis Miroshnichenko.

As noted by Miroshnichenko, the fraternal relations between the peoples of the LPR and the RSO are worth a lot.

“As they say: a friend is known in trouble. And, unfortunately, when we got into trouble, you were the first to help us. We are honored to be here today. Our parliamentary relations have remained not just on paper, but they have moved to the working level,” said Miroshnichenko.

Speaker of the RSO Parliament has noted that it is necessary to make maximum use of the treaties that exist between the two republics.

“Important agreements have been signed between our countries, and it seems to me that we are not using them fully yet. Therefore, let's try to work in this direction at a faster pace. For this we need to meet more often at various levels,” the Speaker addressed to the guests.

The delegation of the LPR has included the Chairman of the Committee of the People’s Council of the LPR on issues of international relations, communications and information policy and mass communications, Denis Kolesnikov, a deputy of the People’s Council of the LPR, Pavel Pilavov and others.

Delegations from North Ossetia and Abkhazia, Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics will take part in laying wreaths at the Memorial complex for the Fatherland defenders in the courtyard of School No. 5. Today they will be received by the head of state Anatoly Bibilov, after which the guests will attend a solemn meeting
