According to the President of South Ossetia Leonid Tibilov, last week were committed serious violations by Georgia, carried out provocations at the state border of South Ossetia.
"These illegal actions of the Georgian authorities once again proved that the Georgian leadership is still unable to accept the fact that there is a sovereign independent state of the Republic of South Ossetia, with its state border," - said the head of state.
Leonid Tibilov added that "the South Ossetian leadership intends to continue to equip the state border of the Republic, as repeatedly stated publicly, including "in the framework of the Geneva discussions. "
"Georgian Defence Minister tried to link the illegal situation at the state border between South Ossetia and Georgia with Russia's relations with Georgia. In this regard, I`d like to emphasize that the Russian leadership has no relation to this incident, The South Ossetian side is really engaged and intends to continue to equip its border with the state, with which it has no any relations. We will strengthen and equip the area along the South Ossetian border,"- said the president.
Leonid Tibilov added that "in connection with the events in Ukraine and in other hot regions, the attention of the western patrons and the international community to Georgia has weakened considerably."
"In connection with the planned visit to Georgia by the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk, which the Georgian side would like to bring to the border with the apparent provocative purposes, it was quite a "good " move of the Georgian authorities," - said the head of state.
Today, at the request of the South Ossetian side is under way an extraordinary meeting in the framework of the mechanism for preventing and responding to incidents, the mandate of which includes issues related to security and tranquility in the areas adjacent to the border.
According to the Presidential Envoy of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev, the actions at the state border of South Ossetia are rowdy and provocative, accompanied by illegal penetration into the territory of the Republic of South Ossetia.
"The South Ossetian border authorities set up the boundary markers solely on the South Ossetian territory, at least 50 meters away from the border line", - he stressed.
The South Ossetian side has already informed of the situation the international mediators at the Geneva discussions on security in Transcaucasia.
