The bronze medalist of the European Freestyle Wrestling Championship Arsamag Zasseev returned to Tskhinval. The wrestler was met on the theater square by friends, relatives and his coach Tamerlan Kochiev.

As noted by press service of the Committee on Youth Policy and Sports, Arsamag Zasseev took third place at the European Championship among juniors under 21 years old. An athlete of the South Ossetian wrestling school competed in the heaviest weight class (125 kg).

South Ossetian Consumer Supervision Committee detected 27 new cases of coronavirus in a day (19 a day earlier), the incidence in the Republic is growing, the head of the department Marina Kochieva told the IA "Res," on Friday.

According to the results of the tests, out of 128 samples, 27 showed a positive result.

"The epidemiological situation has worsened, of course it is necessary to observe safety measures - mask regime, social distance, avoid attending mass events. All this is very important," said the chief sanitary doctor.

The South Ossetian delegation declared once again in Geneva about the need to adopt a document, which should become an important step to ensure durable security guarantees for South Ossetia and Abkhazia from Georgia, according to the press service of the office of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy of the Republic of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement.

A boxer from South Ossetia Guram Gagiev will perform at the world championship, the athlete's coach Atsamaz Dzigoev told the IA "Res". As noted by Dzigoev, on Thursday they will go to the competition, which will be held from July 1 to 12 in Tbilisi.

“Guram was qualified for the competition thanks to his victory in the European Championship. But nevertheless, he additionally went through sparring, where the choice also fell on him,” said Dzigoev.

According to the coach, they were training intensively and will try to win.

Georgia continues to ignore South Ossetia's peace-loving proposals to sign a legally binding agreement on the non-use of force between Tbilisi, Sukhum and Tskhinval.

However, it would be unfair to blame official Tbilisi for this: it is unlikely that it decides anything in its own fate. Especially in the field of foreign policy and especially after the color revolution of 2003, which swept away the remnants of an already purely symbolic sovereignty and brought Georgia under the tight all-round US control.

The delegations of the Republic of South Ossetia and the Republic of Abkhazia, following the results of the Geneva discussions on security and stability in Transcaucasia, issued a joint statement in which they declare the politicization of the refugee problem by Georgia.
