The entry of South Ossetia into Russia will be a major event in the history of the Ossetian people, who have long been waiting for reunification with the Russian state, Vyacheslav Besaev, the Chairman of the veteran organization of the Republic, said in a commentary to IA “Res”.
“Back in 1992, I voted for the entry of our Republic into the Russian Federation, even then our people expressed a desire to live in a single state with the fraternal Russian people. If today there is a need to update the data of the referendum of the early 90s, to organize a repeat vote to accept us as part of Russia, then we will undoubtedly join this process,” Besaev said.
According to him, reunification with the Russian Federation will primarily ensure the security of the Republic, which is extremely important given the current realities in the modern world.
“Georgia has not yet signed the Memorandum on the non-use of force against South Ossetia, but even if it does, can we believe it, based on the bitter experience that reaches us like a tragic echo from the pages of the history of our long-suffering people,” Besaev stressed.
It should be reminded that last week President of South Ossetia, Anatoly Bibilov, initiated the issue of joining the Republic to the Russian Federation. To date, the action group has already been created to hold a referendum, which has applied to the CEC of the Republic of South Ossetia with a corresponding application.
