The decision to gasify the villages of South Ossetia is the most important of the agreements between the presidents of South Ossetia and Russia, South Ossetian expert Inal Pliev believes.
He has stressed that it is villages that make up a significant territory of the Republic, and a firmly standing economy is possible only with the active life of the village.
The Ered tragedy is one of the many evidences of the policy of genocide that the Georgian leadership had been pursuing against the Ossetian people for a whole century, South Ossetian Foreign Ministry comments.
The Ministry noted that "this bloody and inhumane event, which took place 32 years ago, still shocks with its special cruelty and cynicism, remaining the open wound in the historical memory of the people."
The interstate agreement on alliance and integration between South Ossetia and Russia unites the security spaces of the two countries; therefore armed aggression against the Republic of South Ossetia is tantamount to aggression against the Russian Federation itself. Konstantin Kochiev, State Adviser to President of South Ossetia, stated this in a comment to IA “Res” on the next anniversary of the signing of the bilateral agreement.
He has noted that any attempts by Georgia and its Western partners to isolate South Ossetia are pointless.
High-level relations have developed between South Ossetia and Russia, which are observed in all spheres of the life of the Republic, noted ex-President of the Republic Leonid Tibilov in a commentary to IA “Res” on the anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Alliance and Integration between South Ossetia and the Russian Federation.
The document was signed on March 18, 2015 by the leaders of the two countries, Vladimir Putin and Leonid Tibilov.
The meeting of Presidents of South Ossetia and Russia Alan Gagloev and Vladimir Putin demonstrated readiness to further expand and strengthen friendly, partnership relations between the two countries, deepen integration processes, trade and economic cooperation, prime Minister said in a comment published on the official website of the Cabinet of Ministers.
South Ossetia is closely monitoring the processes taking place in Georgia, Chairman of the Parliament Alan Alborov noted in the comment to IA “Res”.
“Is it possible to open a second front or carry out a provocation at the borders? Everything is possible in the modern world, and South Ossetia has lived under conditions of permanent aggression for many years. Based on this, it is necessary to monitor what is happening and be ready for any development of events,” he said.
South Ossetian-Russian relations have a very rich history and deep roots, the two nations are united by spiritual and cultural closeness, the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry stated, referring to the current stage of relations between the two countries.
Fraternal relations between South Ossetia and Russia are being built in full compliance with the Treaty of Alliance and Integration of March 18, 2015, Znaur Gassiev, Ambassador of South Ossetia to the Russian Federation, said in the commentary to IA "Res ".
"This unique, unparalleled document defines long-term guidelines for bilateral relations, fixes the procedure for interaction in the field of social protection of the population, guarantees our state sovereignty and security," Gassiev said.
He has noted that Russia is the main strategic partner for South Ossetia.
The position of Georgia towards the Russian Federation does not suit the countries of the West, Zita Besaeva, a member of the South Ossetian Parliament, the Chairman of the Nykhas political party, told the “Res” news agency.
“Today we are observing the processes that are taking place in Georgia. It did not join the sanctions that imposed by the West against Russia and, of course, the idea of opening a second front,” Besaeva said.
According to the deputy, the situation in Georgia is being rocked from the inside in order to arrange a civil war, to carry out a coup d'etat.
The current events in Georgia should be viewed in the context of Western influence.
This is stated in the comments of the representative of the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry in Austria, Patrick Poppel, on the current situation in Georgia.
"I consider this development very dangerous for peace in the Caucasus. The US and Western states have no right to interfere in the sovereign policy of the Caucasian states," he said.
