The Zar tragedy shocked the whole world, the head of North Ossetia Sergei Menyailo has written in his telegram channel.
He has noted that May 20 is a tragic date in the history of the Ossetian people.

More than a thousand people, including the leadership of South Ossetia, public and political figures, representatives of the ministries and departments, a delegation from North Ossetia, relatives of the victims, students, schoolchildren and residents of the Republic came to the obelisk “A Grieving Mother” on the Zar road on Monday to honor the memory of the victims of the monstrous tragedy. ,.
The event began with the laying of flowers and wreaths at the monument.
As a result of the inhumane policy of the Georgian leadership, the mournful day of May 20, 1992 is a bitter and sad date that will forever remain in the history of South Ossetia, in the memory of the entire Ossetian people. This is stated in the address of Ambassador of the Republic of South Ossetia to the Russian Federation, Znaur Gassiev, to the heads of diplomatic missions accredited in Moscow, as well as to the Georgian interests section at the Swiss Embassy.
