The next round of the Geneva talks is scheduled for July.

State Secretary - Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Grigory Karasin discussed on the phone with the UN representative, the Сo-chairman of the Geneva discussions on security and stability in Transcaucasia, Ms. Dzhihan Sultanoglu, the preparation of a new round of negotiations, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The parties exchanged views on the preparation of a new round of international discussions in Geneva.

Prosecutor General of South Ossetia, Uruzmag Dzhagaev, announced the decision of the Prosecutor General’s Office to retrain the crime committed on May 20, 1992 from “murder” to “genocide”.

"Genocide is a crime that is not subject to statute of limitations. We will prosecute the people involved in this tragedy, until the last, until they suffer proper punishment," said Dzhagaev.

In the near future, the politician intends to visit South Ossetia.

Gunnar Lindemann, a German deputy to the Berlin regional parliament, who represents the party "Alternative for Germany", believes that if Kosovo has the right to separate from Serbia - South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Donetsk, and others should have the same right.

South Ossetia has again called on the world community to condemn the criminals - the perpetrators of the Zar tragedy, the Republic’s Foreign Ministry reports. The country's foreign policy department calls for a legal assessment of the actions of the Georgian leadership, "aimed at the destruction of the Ossetian people, and focus on efforts on influencing Georgia’s recognition of responsibility for the aggression committed and its results."

In South Ossetia has been commemorated one of the worst tragedies in the history of the republic - the shooting of civilians on the Zar road, who were leaving the front-line Tskhinval on May 20, 1992. 27 years have passed since then, but there are crimes that have no statute of limitations. That May day will forever remain a day of pain.

The pain and suffering of relatives and friends of the victims of the Zar tragedy are further aggravated by the realization that the criminals are still not punished.

The South Ossetian arm wrestlers held their first bouts at the European Championship, which is taking place in Greece, and won the first medals. More than a thousand participants from 30 countries of the world are performing at the competitions.

Arsen Khabalov, an athlete of the Tskhinval section of arm wrestling, ascended the highest podium of honor, he became the champion of Europe, - said the coach of the athletes Valery Dzhioev.

The peoples of Iran and Ossetia have common historical roots, which can become a ground for cooperation in the sphere of culture, cinema, television, literature and music. This was stated by the Iranian international politics columnist, Tehran University professor Hassan Beheshtipur, commenting on the interview of the President of South Ossetia with the Iranian and Latin American media, in which Anatoly Bibilov noted the interest of the Ossetian state in establishing humanitarian and economic partnership with Iran.

President of South Ossetia, Anatoly Bibilov, compared the aggression of the nationalists in Georgia and Ukraine, noting that the way of the people of Donbass is very similar to the fate of the Ossetians. He told about this in an exclusive interview with the head of the News Front news agency Konstantin Knyrik.

President of South Ossetia, Anatoly Bibilov, met with representatives of the movement “Mothers of Abkhazia for Peace and Social Justice”. The meeting was also attended by the Presidential Commissioner for Human Rights Inal Tasoev and the Сhairman of the organization “Memory and Hope” Lidiya Kudzieva.
