Tskhinval, August 8, 2012
Throughout the whole epoch the Georgian rulers have been seeking to seize the ancient Ossetian lands and annihilate their Ossetian neighbors to expand the borders of Georgia. The genocide of the Ossetian people in 1920, the genocide of 1989-1992, the armed invasion in 2004 left never-healing wounds in the historical memory of the Ossetian people. With the proclamation of independence of Georgia each new ruler was launchingmilitary actions against South Ossetia. Each aggression of the Georgian forces against South Ossetia was distinguished by the barbarous inhumanity and cruelty.
