According to the head of North Ossetia, tragic and heroic events happen in the history of any nation.
“For Ossetia, for the residents of Ossetia, the history is the same, both tragic and heroic events took place, so the people have the right to express their will. We are one Ossetian nation, we speak the same language, we understand each other, we have the same customs, and we pray to the same saints and God,” Menyailo has added.
