Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia in connection with placing the Georgian police post in the village of Zardiantkari
June 29, 2012 the Interior Ministry of Georgia placed a police post a few hundred meters closer to the state border of South Ossetia- in the village of Zardiantkari (Georgia), which is located opposite the South Ossetian village of Khelchua. This caused great tension among the people of the Ossetian nationality, living in this village.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia is expressing its concern by the desire of the Georgian side at any price to destabilize the situation in the immediate vicinity of the border. Georgia's military build-up, aggressive rhetoric of its leadership against South Ossetia, the constant provocations in the border areas indicate that the Georgian authorities continue to focus on deliberate escalation of the situation and are harboring revenge plans.
Part of the population of the village of Zardiantkari (Georgia) will leave their homes if the Georgian Interior Ministry in the near future does not take away the police post, placed there last Saturday.
This was stated by President of South Ossetia Leonid Tibilov at a meeting with the heads of security agencies.
"The Post was placed on Saturday, for two days it was strengthened by joining about 30 servicemen. Residents of this village are mostly Ossetians and about eight families left the village. They appealed to us for help in resolving this situation, "- said the head of the state.
