On Monday, Foreign Minister of South Ossetia Akhsar Dzhioev sent a note to his Pridnestrovian counterpart Vitaly Ignatiev with words of sympathy and support in connection with the 31st anniversary of the Bendery tragedy, the press service of the Foreign Ministry reports.
“The tragic events that unfolded on June 19, 1992 in the city of Bendery are forever inscribed in the history of Pridnestrovye as an act of war crime that claimed hundreds of human lives and crippled thousands of destinies.
Despite the hardest trials, residents of Pridnestrovye defended their right to live in their native land. And today, in a difficult international situation, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic is making great efforts for comprehensive development, protecting peace and tranquility on its land," the note reads.
The Minister has noted that people of South Ossetia fully understand and realize the value of peaceful life and, together with the Pridnestrovian brothers, pay tribute to the memory of the victims of the Bendery tragedy.
