South Ossetian President Leonid Tibilov does not exclude further military provocations from the Georgian side, declared the Head of State at today`s press conference in Tskhinval.
According to him, Georgia continues to build up its military capability and strengthens its armed forces.
The international community should recognize the genocide of the Ossetian people, otherwise the repetition of the scenario in August 2008 is not excluded, said South Ossetian President Leonid Tibilov at the briefing in Tskhinval.
The war in August 2008. On the eve of invasion ...
On the night of August 7, 2008, began a steady bombardment of the populated areas of South Ossetia. At midnight a village Dmenis was fired from the Georgian-controlled village of Eredvi, Sarabuk, Satikar, and the southern outskirts of Tskhinval.
Five years ago, on the night of August 8, 2008, the Georgian government committed a fatal strategic mistake. Overestimating the political support of the United States and having underestimated the moral obligations assumed by Russia, Tbilisi launched a war of aggression against South Ossetia, resulted in the predictable defeat of the Georgian military machine and the final loss of the two former Georgian autonomies.
In South Ossetia will be held commemorative events dedicated to the fifth anniversary of the 2008 war.
As the news agency "Res" was informed by Presidential Adviser on the state and international protocol Jeanne Zasseeva, the events will start at 15:00 today with a press conference of the President of the Republic Leonid Tibilov.
