Political processes in the world dictate the necessity of signing a new agreement on cooperation between South Ossetia and Russia, said today President Leonid Tibilov.
According to him, at the moment there are already a number of proposals on the future agreement, held preliminary consultations with the Russian colleagues, in particular, with the head of the Department of Russian Presidential Administration for cooperation with the CIS countries, Abkhazia and South Ossetia Oleg Govorun, who recently visited the Republic.

"We have already begun working on a new treaty, the South Ossetian experts are tasked to hold consultations with colleagues from the Presidential Administration. I have made a proposal that the future treaty should be considered over the range of direct entry of the Republic of South Ossetia into Russia to other forms that exist today in the world. There are many forms of political coexistence of states. I think, we will soon get the answer to this question, "- said Tibilov.
In the course of discussion were considered the issues of defense and security of the Republic, the work of law enforcement agencies, the development of medicine, education, culture and language.
"The basis of the future treaty will also be the question of the border regime between Russia and South Ossetia. There is hope that Russia will meet us on the issue of removal of the checkpoint in Lower Zaramag, "- said the president.
He has stressed that it is a historic moment when you need to consider more closely issues of future relations with Russia, with which South Ossetia has a close relationship of trust.
"There are also certain challenges and threats against South Ossetia. The Georgian side, despite the change of government, has changed nothing in its aggressive policy; there is active rearmament of the Georgian armed forces. And for Georgia South Ossetia and Abkhazia are still the objects for a possible attack. As head of state, I am obliged to create conditions for our future generations to live in complete safety, "- said Leonid Tibilov.
He has stressed that he is ready to start discussing the draft agreement with the Parliament of the Republic and the public.
"I think, that the public and the deputies will approach this question with all responsibility and will soon reach a consensus; the decision to sign the document must not be shelved," - said the president.
Leonid Tibilov has added that the work on the document must be completed in a short time; the signing is scheduled for early 2015.
