The tragedy that occurred in Vladikavkaz is a common tragedy of the Ossetian people and we must be vigilant at all times, said the South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity at the press conference in Tskhinval.
According to him, today there is a need to take all necessary measures to combat terrorism.
"It is not easy to fight against it. But today there are no ready-to-use recipes. It requires engagement of the public and the entire nation. We fully understand the purpose of these terrorist acts, and we know who stands behind them. This is an attempt to push the North Caucasian peoples to fight against each other. It is an attempt to impose a regional, religious hatred between the peoples inhabiting the Caucasus. I think that the terrorist acts on the Russian territory and aggression against South Ossetia and Abkhazia have the same masterminds,” said Kokoity.
The president urged to show tolerance and be strong, noting that the it was necessary to help the authorities of Dagestan, Chechnya and Ingushetia to combat this evil.
"We need to unite, rather than search for those to put blame on. We need to consolidate all the healthy forces ", he stressed.
Eduard Kokoity said that the forces that supported, strengthened and armed Georgia, did so with far-reaching plans.
"South Ossetia and Abkhazia have been the first step. Today, these same forces are trying to destabilize the North Caucasus. That is, they have not given up their plans, and from time to time remind about themselves by arranging such attacks. We must appreciate the victory of August 2008, but we should not relax ", concluded the president.
