President Alan Gagloev has received the delegation of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, led by member of the Committee on International Affairs Sergei Tsekov.

The meeting was also attended by Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of South Ossetia Marat Kulakhmetov, Speaker of Parliament Alan Alborov and Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-parliamentary Relations Zaza Driaev.

Israeli airstrikes on Syrian infrastructure are fraught with a further escalation of tension in the region, the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry said on Friday, commenting on the situation around еру Palestinian-Israeli relations.

On October 12, the Israeli Air Force launched strikes on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, as a result of which the runways of Damascus and Aleppo international airports were damaged.

The issue of providing benefits, payments and social support measures to the special military operation participants from South Ossetia and their family members was discussed at the meeting of the Cooperation Commission of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly and Parliament of the Republic of South Ossetia.

As noted by Elena Dzhioeva, Chairman of the Committee on Budget and Taxes, the issue of supporting the special military operation participants is still very relevant.

The issue of dual citizenship with the Russian Federation was discussed in the Parliament of South Ossetia during the work of the Commission on Cooperation of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russia and the Parliament of the Republic.

As noted by the head of the Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-parliamentary Relations of the South Ossetian legislative body, co-Chairman of the Commission Zaza Driaev, this issue is being raised at all levels.

The South Ossetian side considers the participation in the Geneva discussions useful and advocates continuing the dialogue and finding new ways to increase efficiency and advance work in this format.

This is stated in the statement by the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the format.

The Geneva discussions on security and stability in Transcaucasia were created on October 15, 2008 after Georgia's armed attack on South Ossetia and forcing the aggressor to peace, in accordance with the Medvedev-Sarkozy agreements.

In South Ossetia on Friday, October 13, a meeting of the Commission on Cooperation of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the Parliament of the Republic will be held, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-Parliamentary Relations Zaza Driaev told IA “Res”.

As noted by Driaev, as part of the work of the Commission, the parties will discuss important issues facing the Republic.

Over the past 15 years, Russia and South Ossetia have laid a strong foundation for cooperation and built interaction in almost all areas. This was stated by Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko at the meeting with the head of the Republic’s parliament Alan Alborov.

The main topic of the conversation was issues of inter-parliamentary interaction.

Recognition of the two sovereign states - South Ossetia and Abkhazia will take place sooner or later, and they will take their places in the United Nations, said Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, during the Moscow-Sukhum-Tskhinval video bridge on the Sputnik-South Ossetia platform.

In his opinion, this issue will largely depend on the results of the special military operation.

Georgia is trying in every possible way to avoid signing a document on the non-use of force, said Konstantin Kochiev, State Advisor President of the Republic of South Ossetia, head of the working group at the Geneva discussions, during the Moscow-Sukhum-Tskhinval video bridge on the Sputnik - South Ossetia platform.

He has noted that South Ossetia has been working on this issue for a long time, “but so far it has not been possible to come to any results.”

The Geneva discussions are not only meetings in Geneva itself, during which there is a short and tough discussion of the agenda, it is also daily work, when hotlines work on all sides, and there is a constant dialogue on cross-border issues. This was stated during the Moscow-Sukhum-Tskhinval video bridge on the Sputnik-South Ossetia platform by Konstantin Kochiev, State Advisor to President of the Republic of South Ossetia, head of the working group at the Geneva discussions.
