South Ossetia should talk about the recognition of genocide at all levels and declare it at all venues,” said Robert Gagloyty, Director of the South Ossetian Research Institute.
These days, the Republic is holding commemorative events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the genocide of the South Ossetian people committed by Georgia. June 20, 1920 13 communards were shot.
Director of the South Ossetian Research Institute has noted that in the recognition of the Ossetian genocide by the world community, personal contacts and the work of individuals can play an important role, each in its own direction.
“At the same time, it is necessary to involve the work of the diasporas and representative offices of South Ossetia in the host countries. Not only political figures, but also the public should work on the recognition of the genocide. This will play a big positive role,” he emphasized.
If we draw parallels with the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, then they have completely different opportunities.
In his opinion, Georgia will never recognize its atrocities, but South Ossetian society should work in this direction so that tragedies do not recur.
“Our foreign policy department is doing a good job, but everyone needs to get involved. Today, the coronavirus pandemic has made adjustments to the work of all areas, but it is necessary to follow the refugee route, go to Nogir and talk with living witnesses of the genocide and their descendants. This will allow us to make a route map and find. the burials, etc. After all, many people were lost on the "road of life",” Galoity said.
Gagloyty has stressed, that the responsibility for this rests with every citizen, "it is necessary to work actively in all directions."
