The information received by the State Security Committee of South Ossetia indicates that official Tbilisi, despite the growth of protest moods in Georgia itself, continues to implement a revanchist policy aimed at destabilizing the situation on the state border of South Ossetia with Georgia, the KGB press service reports.
"In particular, from the beginning of February 2020, there has been an increase in activity of the Georgian Interior Ministry units in the area of the village of Uista (Tsnelis), the elements of which are: daily patrolling of the territory with reinforced Georgian police units, continue engineering arrangements for the system of support and observation posts, optical and aerial reconnaissance using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) , Of particular concern to the KGB is the fact that the Georgian leadership demonstrates a pathological inability to seek and find compromise foreign policy solutions against the background of a sharp deterioration in the socio-economic situation in the country and especially in the Georgian regions bordering South Ossetia, " the KGB statement released on Thursday said.
Thus, according to the information of the Georgian television channel Pirveli Archi (Channel One), at the end of January 2020, the population of the village of Kere of the Gori Municipality, bordering the South Ossetian village of Otreu, Tskhinval District, once again unsuccessfully appealed to the leadership of the Shida Kartli region with a demand to solve basic household problems associated with the lack of a school and kindergarten, the arrangement of roads, and the provision of water supply. A similar unfavorable situation is developing in almost all the Georgian border villages.
"At the same time, in Georgia itself, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in conditions of extreme poverty and constant hunger there are 77,000 children. This is 1.5 times more than the entire population of South Ossetia combined. About 80% of Georgian residents cannot buy high-quality foodstuffs, and the majority of the Georgian food imports are Ukrainian and Turkish second-class products that are banned for sale in their countries, these facts once again confirm that the main victims of the aggressive policy of the Tbilisi regime, which uses At the same time, the full support of the USA and the EU are ordinary citizens of Georgia, deprived not only of the possibility of a decent existence, but who are in a complete information vacuum, "the statement said.
In this regard, the document says, it is only possible to positively evaluate the activities of a number of Georgian NGOs and individual activists focused on collecting and bringing to the Georgian society truthful information about the situation on the South Ossetian-Georgian border and Georgian border territories.
“In particular, it seems that almost the only force trying to solve the problems of the Georgian population is the NGO “Strength in Unity " with its leader D. Katsarava. On his initiative, it is planned to provide all Georgian citizens living in the border territory with GPS -devices that allow real-time control of the location and movement routes of all potential violators of the state border of South Ossetia and Georgia, "the statement says.
The KGB believes that this project, if implemented, will greatly facilitate not only the life of the Georgian border population, but also the work of the South Ossetian border authorities in ensuring the security of the borders of the Republic, including in the village of. Uista (Tsnelis).
The State Security Committee of the Republic of South Ossetia once again responsibly declares that the only civilized way out of the “Tsnellis incident” artificially created by the Tbilisi regime should be the complete dismantling of the Georgian Interior Ministry posts and the withdrawal of the armed units to their permanent location.
