Flash-poll: July 14, South Ossetia will celebrate the 20th anniversary of entering the Joint Peacekeeping Forces into the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. What is the role of peacekeepers in protecting the population of South Ossetia?

Boris Chochiev, former co-chair of the Joint Control Commission on the South Ossetian side:
The format of the peacekeeping operation, which was being conducted in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict from 1992 to 2008, is unique in the world. For the first time in the history of peacekeeping operations, it involved not only the Russian Federation as the chief mediator and guarantor of peace, but also the peacekeepers, representing the parties, involved in the conflict. During the period from the date of the peacekeepers entry until the ultra radical nationalist and fascist Saakashvili came to power in Georgia in 2004, no one peacekeeper was killed.

Statement of the Parliament of the Republic of South Ossetia

July 9, 2012 Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE PA) at its annual meeting adopted by a majority vote a resolution "On the situation in Georgia."
The resolution, drafted by the Polish deputy, contains clearly politicized and false position – supporting the "territorial integrity" of Georgia, and with reference to the term "occupied territories" are mentioned South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Students of the South Ossetian State University participated in the All-Caucasian Youth Forum "Mashuk-2012".
As reported to IA "Res" by the delegate Sergey Kochiev, Alan Kolieva has won the contest Miss "Mashuk-2012". The South Ossetian delegation consisted of five students of the South Ossetian State University.
He noted, that 11 pairs from different delegations -not only from the North Caucasus regions, but also from Khanty-Mansiysk-Ugra, Ukraine, Volgograd and South Ossetia were contending the titles of honour.

Presidium of the Parliament at today's meeting heard a report of the parliamentary commission on passport system of the citizens of South Ossetia, living in Leningor district, as well as on the order of crossing the state border with Georgia. The information was presented by Deputy Speaker Yuri Dzitstsoity. He has recalled that at the recent meeting a parliamentary deputy Vadim Gabaraev reported that the situation in Leningor district was tight, because many people, who had left the territory of Georgia, could not return home, because they were not the RSO passport holders.

Adopted at the session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (PA) resolution has clearly demonstrated the biased position of its authors, and will take place among a number of other similar resolutions and declarations adopted for one purpose - to capture once again the political will on the situation, refusing absolutely to face the real facts and conclusions of competent professionals who know the situation and conveyed the objective position publicly.
