Thanks to the introduction of tripartite peacekeeping forces in South Ossetia, hostilities ceased, and the long-awaited peace and quiet came to the houses, the price of which every Ossetian family knows well, ”said Prime Minister Eric Pukhaev, giving a comment to the government press service on the occasion of July 14 in the Republic Day of Peacemaker.
“Today we are celebrating an important day for the whole Republic, which marked the onset of the long-awaited peace on our long-suffering land in July 1992 after the introduction of the Joint Peacekeeping Forces on our territory. Warrior peacekeepers then became the guarantor of security in the Republic of South Ossetia.
Our citizens know the value of the world too well, which is why we have a special attitude to peacekeeping soldiers. There is no significant date in the republic related to the history of the republic, when we do not remember the peacekeepers, and do not thank for the feat, for the great mission.
A low bow to the peacekeepers, who died in August 2008, who took the first blow of the Georgian army on themselves. We will never forget the names of those courageous, strong-willed people who gave their lives saving the civilian population of our state from the armed aggression of Georgia,” Eric Pukhaev emphasized.
