The South Ossetian party intends to defuse the current situation through diplomatic methods, the dialogue within the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM) will continue, said Murat Dzhioev, Presidential Envoy for post-conflict settlement at the end of the third technical meeting in the border village of Ergneti.

According to Dzhioev, one issue was discussed at the meeting - the situation in the area of ​​the village of Uista (Tsnelis), where the Georgian security forces had put up a police post.

The Agreement on Alliance and Integration between Russia and South Ossetia is of strategic importance for bilateral relations, said Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia Dmitry Medoev in an interview with the Turkish publication "Cumhuriyet".

Georgia's policy of military cooperation with the United States and a number of European countries leads to a new wave of tension and could blow up the peace that was established in 2008, South Ossetian foreign Minister Dmitry Medoev said in an interview with the Turkish newspaper "Cumhuriyet".

The South Ossetian delegation at the meetings in the framework of the Geneva Discussions and Incident Prevention and Response Mechanisms (IPRM) after the events of 2008, each time proposes to sit at the negotiating table on delimitation and demarcation of the state border, said Presidential Envoy Murat Dzhioev at a briefing in Tskhinval.

Tbilisi should think several times before provoking crises on the border with South Ossetia, war correspondent of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Evgeny Poddubny told the news agency “Res.”

According to him, a completely familiar handwriting of Western advisers is guessed in the actions of Georgia.

The aggravation of tension on the border of South Ossetia and Georgia is taking place at a difficult moment in international relations, Yuri Shevtsov, political scientist and director of the Center for European Integration (Minsk), told IA “Res”.

Russia is worried about the escalation of tension in the Transcaucasian region. The situation is dangerous, and there is a risk of further escalation of the conflict, said Franz Klintsevich, member of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security.

Atsamaz Bibilov, head of the South Ossetian Parliament’s Defense and Security Committee, called the actions of the Georgian police in the village of Uista (formerly Tsnelis) South Ossetia an open provocation aimed at escalating tensions in Transcaucasian region.

Atsamaz Bibilov visited the outskirts of the village of Uista, where the Georgian side is illegally building a roadblock, and on the spot got acquainted with the situation.

Georgian police should immediately leave the borders of the village of Tsnelis of South Ossetia, said Zaza Driaev, head of the South Ossetian Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-Parliamentary Relations.

According to the deputy, it is necessary to warn the Georgian side about the inadmissibility of such steps and give them time to go beyond the borders of South Ossetia, and then post there.

"It will be fair if we set up our posts where the border of the South Ossetian Autonomous Region previously ran," Driaev said.

Republic of South Ossetia was proclaimed in 1990, and since then has had nothing to do with the territorial integrity of Georgia as a state. Therefore, when the United States or other UN states and international organizations affirm their recognition of the territorial integrity of Georgia, one should proceed from the composition, the territory in which Georgia entered the international community in 1992.
