The top leaders of the Helsinki Commission have announced they will pose for pictures with Georgia President Saakashvili in Washington today. Though some may portray this event as “just a photo op” it unfortunately provides credibility for Georgia's leader, who has recently displayed some bizarre and un-statesmanlike behavior, including starting a war with the Republic of South Ossetia; unilaterally sending special forces to Ukraine to serve as observers; ordering children in his country to prepare for war; and sowing panic among his citizenry when he allowed a government-supported television station to broadcast a fake account of a Russian invasion of his country.

Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia and Republic of Nicaragua, Murat Djioev and Samuel Santos Lopez, signed joint declaration on establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of South Ossetian and Republic of Nicaragua and the Protocol on consultations between the Foreign Ministries of the Republic of South Ossetia and Republic of Nicaragua.
RSO President Eduard Kokoity attended the signing ceremony. He underlined the importance of the signed Declaration.

PACE representatives trying to arrive on the territory of South Ossetia from Georgia were informed on the rules regulating the entry. The Plenipotentiary for Human Rights David Sanakoev told IA RES correspondent about the details of the incident with the representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe at the boundary line between South Ossetia and Georgia.
