Appeal of youth organizations of the Republic of South Ossetia to the European Parliament

On 27 March 2008 a vehicle explosion occurred in Tskhinval. As a result of the incident Alana Tedeeva, our friend, a member of the “Union of Patriotic Youth of the Republic of South Ossetia”,died. She was only 25. At the age of 18 she became a citizen of the Russian Federation. Law-enforcement agencies of South Ossetia believe that she died due to a terrorist act.
This was the 3rd terrorist act for the last month and the 17th for the last 4 years, starting from the 2004, when the authorities of Georgia started the “defrosting” of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict, resulting in 25 murdered and 78 wounded during the period, women, children, elderly people among them. Actual terrorist war has been unleashed against the people of South Ossetia. The war extends the policy of punitive expeditions and genocide of South Ossetians, executed by Georgian political elite in XIX and XX c.
Our main fault, according to Georgian politicians, is that we are the Ossetians.
We understand your responsibility for taking one or the other political solution. We also understand how complicated the situation in Europe is in view of recognition of independence of Kosovo.
But as citizens and patriots of our Motherland we would like to draw your attention to the fact that South Ossetia has its own national interests and these interests can not on any account be implemented within the frames of Georgian political project. The “defrosting” of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict inspired under the guidance of M.Saakashvili 4 years ago – the best evidence!
Our interests – interests of a divided nation, which has for 18 years been struggling for the right to be.

AND THEREFORE WE ARE ADDRESSING TO YOU WITH APPEAL TO RECOGNIZE
SOUTH OSSETIA!

Only recognition of our country, being the principal guarantor of our safety is able to stop the wave of terror and avoid growing into a full-scaled armed conflict. Only recognition of South Ossetia can provide peaceful and civilized development of our nation. Only recognition can restore historical equity and stop genocide of the South Ossetians.
With hope for understanding and sincere wish to have no war in South Ossetia evemore, to have no friends dying anymore.
