A very unusual set of contacts, ideas, diplomats, politicians, journalists, experts who have been able to make a very small state interesting for combinations in the big world, is accumulating in and around South Ossetia, political scientist, director of the Center for European Integration told Res news agency. (Minsk) Yuri Shevtsov.
The political scientist has noted a very interesting process of the emergence of original diplomacy - a very small state in the Caucasus.
"There are many states in the world that are not recognized by all states. But rare ones go beyond relations with one or two countries. South Ossetia has now become embedded in very complex diplomatic combinations far from its borders. Combinations that concern very large forces This unusual role of a small state has already gained its inertia. And, obviously, it will continue to be developig, "said Yuri Shevtsov.
If we talk in detail about the event itself, the political scientist continued, in which South Ossetia participated these days, the following points out:
1. South Ossetia in South America has been included in relations with two very important countries in some aspects: Venezuela with its oil and Nicaragua with its geographical position. That is, South Ossetia has been beginning to be systematically involved in this distant region.And along with it, a part of the Caucasus that is close to South Ossetia is directly involved there. It is difficult to say nowwhat points of support will appear here in South Ossetia. But something here will be original.
2. Inviting South Ossetia to Caracas to such an important event is a gesture from Venezuela towards Russia. It is a very clear evidence of the orientation of Venezuela and President Nicolas Maduro towards proximity to Russia.
3. We have a high degree of trust in South Ossetian diplomacy on the part of both Russia and Venezuela. This is very important in international relations.
