Until Georgian politicians and Georgian society as a whole give assess honestly and objectively the genocide of 1920, the events of the 90s of the last century, the shameful military aggression of 2008 and recognize their responsibility for the consequences of the aggressive policy against South Ossetia, talks about improving relationships are pointless.
This is stated in the commentary of the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia, published on the official website on Wednesday.
"Summing up her activities as the State Minister for Reconciliation and Civil Equality of Georgia, Ketevan Tsikhelashvili indicated that she had completely coped with her tasks and" at no stage in recent years, especially since 2008, have there been so many Georgian-Ossetian and Georgian-Abkhazian contacts at all levels as today. ” Without going into details of this type of business, we note that even a cursory glance at Tsikhelashvili’s report, which does not pretend to reflect the true state of affairs, shows that it can be characterized as personal dreams of the ambitious politician trying to justify the finances spent. The dubious report, gained in isolation from reality, is presented to the Georgian society as a virtual chocolate bar in a beautiful wrapper, "the Foreign Ministry noted.
The representative of the foreign Ministry emphasizes that the real situation is very far from the one presented on the paper: "The former state Minister, which was quite expected, did not cope with the tasks set. The result is obvious - we see a complete failure of all the projects proposed by her Department - "a Step to a better future" and "Involvement without recognition" , etc. Yes, a lot of donor funds received from abroad have been spent over four years, but there is no result. Such projects have no prospects, except for one goal – to improve the financial situation of their participants."
.
"It is naive to believe that such initiatives can really improve Georgia’s relations with its neighbors. Facts and documents show that South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Georgia have their own history of the independent formation and development of national statehood. September 20, 2020 will be 30 years of independent development of South Ossetia and during this time, neither the constant wars, nor the aggressiveness of all Georgian rulers were able to force the South Ossetian people to turn off this path. The glamorous Mrs. Tsikhelashvili didn’t succeed in doing this either. The caliber is not the same. We are sure that all subsequent ministers will not be able to do this," the commentary says...
The Foreign Ministry has noted that the desire for cooperation with neighboring states is quite feasible, "everything depends on the political will of Georgian politicians."
