Comment of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia D.N. Medoev to IA "Res"
Recently, the Georgian state propaganda machine, with the support of European partners, has stepped up information attacks on the authorities of South Ossetia in connection with the allegedly worsening situation in the border areas, in particular, regarding the restriction of visits to medical facilities of Georgia for medical treatment of South Ossetian citizens. The managers of this project come up with plots of terrible massacre caused by the so-called "Occupation authorities."
The death of the first Russian ambassador to South Ossetia, Elbrus Kargiev, is a tragedy for the entire Ossetian people, said President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov in a comment to the Res agency.
“We, indeed, have lost a person who is important in all respects, his personal and professional qualities, his activities as the first Russian ambassador to South Ossetia deserved the highest rating,” the head of state said. “His death is a tragedy not only for South Ossetia, where he represented the Russian Federation, but also for the entire Ossetian people.”
President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov signed a decree to pardon Vazha Gaprindashvili, convicted of the illegally crossing the state border, guided by humane considerations, said in a commentary by South Ossetian Foreign Minister Dmitry Medoev published on the website of the country's Foreign Ministry.
The authorities of South Ossetia in the situation with Vazha Gaprindashvili, acting toughly, but within the framework of the legislation of the Republic, outplayed the organizers of the multi-trip with the participation of an outstanding Georgian doctor, said the South Ossetian expert Yuri Vazagov in his interview with the IA «RES "
In South Ossetia, Georgia’s actions near the borders are regarded as a deliberate and demonstrative escalation of the situation in the border territories, fraught with serious destabilization of the situation not only in the territories of South Ossetia bordering with Georgia, but also on the scale of the region as a whole, ”said Foreign Minister of South Ossetia Dmitry Medoev, speaking at the international conference “The Image of Russia and South Ossetia in the Information War” held on Friday at the South Ossetian State University..
The police post illegally put up by the Georgian authorities near the village of Tsnelis (Uista) continues to exacerbate the situation in the region as a whole, despite the attempts by the South Ossetian side to defuse the situation, Presidential Envoy to South Ossetia for post conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev told IA “Res ".
The incident in the Georgian village of Koda is a direct continuation of the provocation and escalation of tension policy launched by Tbilisi at the end of August 2019 by setting up an illegal post near the South Ossetian village of Uista (Tsnelis).
During these three months, Georgia demonstrated to South Ossetia and the entire international community the whole set of cliches and tactical steps with which, in theory, the armed confrontation begins.
Destruction of the building of the former Regional Consumer Union, on the second floor of which before the 1991-1992 military aggression of Georgia. was the Jewish Cultural Center, caused a lively dialogue on the pages on the social network Facebook.
The biggest result of the Geneva discussions is the fact of their conducti g, since it is already a factor in peace and stability, said South Ossetian Foreign Minister Dmitry Medoev in an interview with the Turkish “Cumhuriyet”.
According to him, the Geneva discussions, which will be 11 years old in October 2019, are designed to help ensure peace and security in the Caucasus.
