The Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia
According to the information of the Foreign Ministry of the Republic of South Ossetia official Tbilisi intends to carry out large-scale provocations on the border with the Republic of South Ossetia. Within the frames of implementing this intention, the Georgian special services are planning to organize mass unapproved crossing of the Ossetian-Georgian border by the so-called "refugees" - the citizens who have voluntarily left the territory of South Ossetia during the Georgian aggression in August, 2008. The action is intended for compelling the south-ossetian party to apply force that will be widely spread by the Georgian and the western mass-media, and responsibility for its possible consequences is planned to shift onto the authorities of the Republic of South Ossetia. It is supposed in Tbilisi that this large-scale provocation can bring Saakashvili's regime political dividends in the course of campaign for world community misinformation about a real state of affairs in the sphere of settlement of relations between Georgia and South Ossetia and to prevent a serious stabilizing role of the Russian Federation in strengthening safety of the Republic of South Ossetia on the border with Georgia.
