The Supreme Court of South Ossetia postponed today's open trial against Teimuraz Dzherapova in relation to his involvement in 2006 "alternative" election of South Ossetia's president and his activities as a minister of economy in the so-called "Interim Administration" of Sanakoev until August 2008.
in connection with the adoption of UN GA Resolution on refugees
The Republic of South Ossetia since the early 90s stands for peaceful relations with neighboring Georgia, for fair settlement of the issues of refugees and internally displaced persons in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in compliance with relevant international norms.
To this end, South Ossetia has always supported constructive proposals and mediation efforts of the international community and individual countries. However, the UN General Assembly resolution of September 7, 2010, adopted by only a quarter of UN member states, is unlikely to contribute to solving the problem, because it completely ignores the realities. The Republic of South Ossetia is a recognized state and its territory should not be considered as part of Georgia, as it is presented in the Resolution. Despite the true state of affairs, it states on internally displaced persons. Thus, upon the Georgian presentation, more than 100 thousand Ossetians expelled from Georgia because of their ethnicity, who found refuge in the Russian Federation and the Republic of South Ossetia, were left outside the document notions. In fact, the document submitted by Georgia, has nothing to do with a real will to solve existing problems.

A year ago, on September the 10th, you decided to recognize the independence and state sovereignty of South Ossetia. This is an important and responsible decision, taken after the tragic events of armed aggression by Georgia against South Ossetia in August 2008, confirmed the unconditional right of our people to freedom, safe life and integration into the system of international relations based on equality.
