A press conference for South Ossetian journalists was devoted to this sports forum, and the head coach of the RSO national team Soslan Kochiev also answered questions from the media.

Prosecutor General of South Ossetia, Uruzmag Dzhagaev, announced the decision of the Prosecutor General’s Office to retrain the crime committed on May 20, 1992 from “murder” to “genocide”.

"Genocide is a crime that is not subject to statute of limitations. We will prosecute the people involved in this tragedy, until the last, until they suffer proper punishment," said Dzhagaev.

South Ossetia has again called on the world community to condemn the criminals - the perpetrators of the Zar tragedy, the Republic’s Foreign Ministry reports. The country's foreign policy department calls for a legal assessment of the actions of the Georgian leadership, "aimed at the destruction of the Ossetian people, and focus on efforts on influencing Georgia’s recognition of responsibility for the aggression committed and its results."

In South Ossetia has been commemorated one of the worst tragedies in the history of the republic - the shooting of civilians on the Zar road, who were leaving the front-line Tskhinval on May 20, 1992. 27 years have passed since then, but there are crimes that have no statute of limitations. That May day will forever remain a day of pain.

The pain and suffering of relatives and friends of the victims of the Zar tragedy are further aggravated by the realization that the criminals are still not punished.
