April 23 in the media was issued an announcement that the PACE had established a new subcommittee, which would deal with the "frozen conflicts" among the member countries of the Council of Europe, including South Ossetia.
In this regard, the correspondent of the Agency "Res" asked for comment the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy of the RSO for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev:
Firstly, there has never been a conflict in South Ossetia. It was Georgia's aggression against South Ossetia on the background of the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was the intention of the Georgian authorities to hold on the territory of South Ossetia by force without the Ossetian population, ie the territory, which was included in the GSSR by the Soviet government, from which Georgia had separated in 1990.
In the period from1989 and 2008, it was a matter of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict and its settlement, ie, the conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia. However, the end to this "conflict", actually a permanent Georgian aggression, put the 2008 war. Since then, the Republic of South Ossetia, with Russian assistance repelling the Georgian aggressors, is a recognized state, and we can talk only about the settlement of relations between the neighboring states.
But the newly established PACE subcommittee cannot deal with these issues, because the Republic of South Ossetia is not a member of the Council of Europe and the PACE do not hear the voice of our members. Let the Republic of South Ossetia to be admitted to the Council of Europe. Now all sorts of statements and attempts to "settle" are biased, one-sided and far from objectivity.
If the PACE is really interested in the settlement of relations between Georgia and South Ossetia, it could have an impact on Georgia in order that Georgia within the framework of the Geneva process may take a more constructive position to ensure security and stability in the region.
During the visit of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to Georgia, President of Georgia and the Georgian Catholicos Patriarch have repeatedly complained about the "violation of the territorial integrity" of Georgia.
Of course, I will not comment on any visit of the President of Belarus to Georgia or bilateral Belarusian-Georgian relations. This is their sovereign right. I will focus on the fact that the Georgian authorities use every visit to their country to impose again and again the myth of the "territorial integrity" and its "violation." And, of course, the guests, many out of courtesy, agree (or pretend) with them. However, such attempts of the Georgian authorities do not have any grounds. No one has violated the "territorial integrity" of Georgia, which the international community invented after the collapse of the USSR.
It is impossible to ignore the words of the head of the Georgian Church- "a violation of the territorial integrity, it is an open wound on the body of Georgia and on the heart of every citizen of the country."
These are the words of a man who in 1989 blessed the march of the Georgian informal groups on South Ossetia, who declared the enemy of the Georgian nation anyone who killed a Georgian, regardless of whether he was guilty or not.
This Patriarch, blessing Saakashvili, who introduced a new Georgian flag, said he hoped that this flag would soon be flying over Sukhum and Tskhinval.
If the Georgian Patriarch really wanted prosperity and peace of mind for his Orthodox parishioners not to think that the body of Georgia was "bleeding", he should have called for the reality and the abandonment of territorial claims to the neighbors - I mean South Ossetia and Abkhazia, so that everybody might live in peace.
