The events of 1920 in South Ossetia, which had the most negative consequences for the Ossetians, should certainly be recognized by the international community as the fact of the targeted extermination of people on ethnic grounds by the Georgian government, and the organizers and perpetrators of these crimes should and will be punished, regardless of the statute of limitations, stated on Friday the State Security Committee of the Republic.

On June 20, 2020, Ossetia will mark the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Ossetian Genocide by the “Georgian Democratic Republic”.

In South Ossetia, 20 tests for coronavirus were conducted per day, all tests showed a negative result, Anna Gagloeva, Deputy Head of the South-Ossetian Consumer Rights Protection Committee, told IA "Res» on Friday.

"According to the data on the morning of June 19, 37 people with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus are being treated at the Tskhinval infectious diseases hospital, one person has been deregistered, 80 people have been ill for the entire period, 43 of them have recovered and were discharged from the medical institution," Gagloeva clarified.

The resigning of Ketevan Tsikhelashvili as the State Minister for Reconciliation was caused by failures in Georgia’s policy in the South Ossetian direction, which were directly related to the activities of its department, said Yuri Vazagov, a member of the expert council of the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry, in a comment to IA“ Res " .

June 20, in South Ossetia, according to the decree of President Anatoly Bibilov, was declared the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Genocide of the People of South Ossetia by Georgia. This date was not chosen by chance. On this day in 1920, 13 Ossetians - Communards, were shot.

Regarding the recognition of the genocide of the Ossetian people, the 100th anniversary of which is marked this year, it is necessary to use the so-called popular diplomacy, communicate with non-governmental organizations, social movements, ordinary people, regardless of the position of an individual, the historian Robert Kulumbegov believes.

The Defense Ministry off South Ossetia annually during the festive events celebrates the contribution of fighters of self-defense units to the freedom and independence of the state.

According to the press service of the Defense Department, Minister of Defense Ibrahim Gasseev awarded medals “For military valor” of the 1st and 2nd degree to war veterans.

In South Ossetia, 85 tests for coronavirus were conducted within a day, all studies showed a negative result, Anna Gagloeva, Deputy Head of the South-Ossetian Consumer Rights Protection Committee, told IA "Res» on Thursday.

Until Georgian politicians and Georgian society as a whole give assess honestly and objectively the genocide of 1920, the events of the 90s of the last century, the shameful military aggression of 2008 and recognize their responsibility for the consequences of the aggressive policy against South Ossetia, talks about improving relationships are pointless.

The South Ossetian State Security Committee has noted that the Georgian side continues to prevent the Georgian and international NGOs from obtaining objective information about the processes taking place on the South Ossetian-Georgian state border, restricting freedom of movement, and is also engaged in direct disinformation of the Georgian population, the Tbilisi leadership and its western curators. This is stated in the message of the special service on Tuesday.
