A meeting of the bilateral committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia and North Ossetia-Alania on cross-border cooperation was held in Tskhinval. The meeting was attended by the ministers of internal affairs and the heads of services and departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the two republics, the leadership of the ICC.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia, militia Colonel Valery Gazzaev, welcoming the guests, has noted that the people of the south and north of Ossetia are the same and have always been together at all historical stages.
"This is evidenced by the events of 2008 and the tragic Beslan events. Historically, at some stage, the once united people turned out to be divided. But sooner or later the people will reunite and live in a single legal space. At the moment there is a border between us, there are problems of cross-border crime, and other processes that violate the rule of law," Valery Gazzaev said.
He has added that these manifestations could not be left without the attention of law enforcement agencies, in connection with which it became necessary to hold meetings in such a format, where issues in different areas of the operational activities of the two departments would be resolved.
Interior Minister of North Ossetia Police Lieutenant-General Andrey Sergeyev has noted that this meeting is significant because at the same time a meeting of the CIS interior ministers is being held to discuss similar issues.
