In an interview with Izvestia, he has stated that the intentions of the official Tbilisi cannot but worry South Ossetia, in connection with which the Republic, together with the Russian Federation, is building a unified contour of security and defense.
The adoption of the sanctions "list of Otkhozoriya-Tatunashvili" is a manifestation of cynicism and irresponsibility by official Tbilisi, stated the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry.
It should be reminded that on June 26 the Georgian government adopted the so-called sanction list of "Otkhozoria-Tatunashvili", consisting of citizens of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, who allegedly committed various offenses against persons of Georgian nationality.
President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov received Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Rashid Nurgaliyev, who arrived in South Ossetia on a working visit.
As reported by the press service of the President and the Government, the head of the South Ossetian state congratulated the honored guest on the victory of the Russian national football team in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup over the Spanish national team.
The Georgian side at the Geneva discussions again raised the issue of the death of Archil Tatunashvili, trying to make of this show, said Presidential Envoy of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev.
However, the attempts of the Georgian delegation were unsuccessful, since Georgia has no reason to claim the murder of Tatunashvili.
The South Ossetian side has repeatedly proposed and continues to offer Georgia to begin joint work on delimitation and demarcation of the state border between the two countries, said the Presidential Envoy of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement, Murat Dzhioev.
"From our point of view, this is an important factor in ensuring security in the border areas, - said Dzhioev. - But since the Georgian side is not going to talk to us about this issue again, we are unilaterally working on the designation of the border line."
Refugees-Ossetians expelled from Georgia have not received any restitution from the Georgian government, said South Ossetian Presidential Envoy for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev.
He has stressed that the problem of the restoration of refugees in rights exists for South Ossetia at least since 1920.
The agenda of the Geneva discussions does not fully meet the spirit of the time and the challenges that this format faces, said the Presidential Envoy of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev.
"Therefore, we proposed to consider the agenda on the eve of each round," said Dzhioev. - In particular, we have repeatedly proposed to delete from item 3 of the agenda of discussions the phrase: "and international security measures."
The Envoy has specified that the name of the agenda of the discussions is the non-use of force and international security measures.
