The USA are neither the party, nor the intermediary in the negotiating process and statements without corresponding argumentation and logic only confirm the unilateral approach to the situation, so the President of RSO Eduard Kokojty has commented on the statement of the embassy of the USA in Georgia about the joint monitoring of the Rokskij tunnel.
Today the ambassador of the USA in Georgia John Teft has declared that the international community should take «the uncontrollable Rukskij tunnel». We inform specially for his data (if he does not know that till now), that the Rukskij tunnel is not uncontrollable, it is under double control. It is controlled by the Russian Federation from the north, and by the Republic of South Ossetia - from the south. The control of the Republic of South Ossetia over the southern portal of the Rrukskij tunnel, we explain to Taft, is carried out on the basis of the norms of international law, providing the right of the nations and the people on self-determination, on the basis of all the complex of acts and norms of international law, being in action on the moment of declaration of state independence of the Republic of South Ossetia in the beginning of 90th years.
In September the georgian authorities are going to organize the so-called «march of peace» to the borders of South Ossetia. Considering the aggressive rhetoric of the management of Georgia, promising to solve the problem of South Ossetia in the nearest future and as a whole the intense situation in the zone of the georgian-ossetian conflict, this action can result in nothing except for the next coil of intensity. There had already been a similar march in the history of the georgian-ossetian relations.
As they have informed at the south-ossetian part of JCC, on August, 15th the georgian police detained at an illegal (that is placed without the permission of the international Joint Control Commission on settlement of the georgian-ossetian conflict) post and did not let pass a passenger bus, following the ossetian village Artsev. The reason of preventing from movement of the passenger bus the georgian policemen named the fact that there were three bags of flour, that had been bought by 45 passengers of the bus by sharing the cost.
The liquidation of illegal cuts on the site of the water-sluice Edis - Tskhinval, controllable by the georgian side, proceeds. The earlier held monitoring has confirmed that problems for water supply of Tskhinval create the numerous cuts into the water-sluice on the piece, passing through the georgian-populated villages Kemert - Kheiti. According to the mayor of Tskhinval Robert Guliev, «yesterday the georgian repair brigade under the direction of the ossetian experts liquidated 12 cuts into the water-sluice, 3 of which were more than 80 mm in diameter. The georgian side did not create any obstacles in carrying out of the repair works and even has given all the necessary technical equipment».
On the piece of the water-sluice Edis - Tskhinval, controllable by the georgian side, are found new illegal cuts, because of which the supply of potable water to Tskhinval practically has been completely stopped. Damages are revealed in the course of monitoring with the participation of the observers from JPKF and the Mission of OSCE in the georgian-populated villages Kemert, Zartsem and Kheiti.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of RSO has addressed the international organizations with the offer on carrying out of an international investigation of the attempts of committing terrorist acts by the Georgian special services.
