Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia Sends a Letter to the OSCE
The Minister for Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia Murat Dzhioev sent a letter to the Chairman-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mr. Kanat Saudabayev with copies to Secretary General of OSCE
Marc Perrin de Brichambaut, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania Audronius Ajubalisu.
The letter reads:
"The OSCE over the years, starting from 1992, participated in the process of peaceful settlement of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict. However, another full-scale military aggression by Georgia against South Ossetia in August 2008, accompanied with cruel violence by Georgian forces against the peaceful population of South Ossetia, nullified the efforts made within the peace process. Only the operation on forcing the aggressor to peace held by the Russian Federation prevented graver consequences of the criminal venture of the Georgian authorities and broke down their plans to make South Ossetia a ''clear field''.
