The commentaries of the Plenipotentiary of the President of RSO on the subject of the post conflict settlement, the first Chairman of the CEC at the elections in the Supreme Council of South Ossetia Boris Chochiev concerning the Referendum, which was conducted by Georgia in March, 31, 1991.
The Plenipotentiary of the President of the RSO Boris Chochiev declared that after 20 years the Georgian authorities were continuing to make fool of their population, affirming that people of South Ossetia had taken part in so named "referendum on rehabilitation of independence"."Not a single inhabitant of South Ossetia could take part in it, because for that period we were no more the part of Georgia -we had conducted our own elections, in which the georgian population of the Republic had also taken part, - has declared the Plenipotentiary. - I do not exclude that each Ossetian, living in Georgia was forced to vote at a gun point. Each of them faced the choice - "life" or "death". Subsequently more than a hundred ossetians were killed, the rest of the alive had to leave South Ossetia and run away to Russia.
