Parliament of South Ossetia is concerned about the visit of representatives of the "expert community of Georgia" to the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania. This is stated in a statement of the Presidium of the Parliament of the Republic.
"We believe that under the Law of Georgia "On the occupied territories" the current event is a part of the program "Involvement through Cooperation" to implement the goals and objectives, approved by the Georgian Parliament, aimed at "reintegration" of South Ossetia into the Georgian state" – is said in the statement.

The visit of the Georgian experts delegation to Vladikavkaz – is a new stage of the so-called
"Involvement without recognition" and the North Caucasus policy of Georgia initially doomed to failure. This has been said by the Chief of the Caucasus Studies of the Russian Institute of Strategic Research Jana Amelina in an interview to IA "Res", commenting on the meetings of representatives of the Georgian non-governmental organizations with the North Ossetian students and social activists being held in Vladikavkaz.

Recently, under the so-called "people's diplomacy" the new Georgian government sent its emissaries to Russia, mainly to North Ossetia, for meetings with the Ossetian public. How do you assess the actions of the Georgian authorities and the position of some Ossetians who agreed to take part in such actions?

Vyacheslav Gobozov, South Ossetian leader of the political party "Fydybaestae":
There is nothing surprising in such actions.
As it is known, representatives of the political bloc of the "Georgian Dream", both during the campaign and now have been declaring that they will draw South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia. In this case they are not talking about the recognition of the independence of these countries.

Comment of the Plenipotentiary of the President of South Ossetia Murat Dzhioev on the statements of the current Georgian authorities to amend the so-called law on "the occupied territories."

The so-called law on the occupied territories of Georgia was adopted in autumn 2008, after the failed attempt of the Georgian authorities to seize South Ossetia, applying military force. In essence, this "law" was a clear demonstration of the fact that Saakashvili continued pursuing the policy of Gamsakhurdia, aimed at tight blockade of South Ossetia.

South Ossetian authorities are ready to continue working on a project to assemble the light aircraft and helicopters in the Republic in case of compliance with all legal formalities. In this regard, the First Deputy Prime Minister of South Ossetia Guram Melkoev met with the director of "Your Avia-centre - South Ossetia" Georgy Valiev, who also represented his Russian counterpart, General Director of "Your Avia-centre" Victor Boychenko. The meeting was attended by Chairman of the Committee of Industry, Transport and Energy, Vasily Dzasseev.

Statement of the Republican Political Party "United Ossetia"

Recently, the new leadership of Georgia declaring the alleged change in policy, has intensified the efforts to establish personal, economic and cultural contacts with Russian and South Ossetian politicians, public figures and intellectuals. Such event, held in Moscow on January 26, has rightly caused negative reaction of the public of North and South Ossetia, and has demonstrated the willingness of the patriotic forces to suppress strictly such kind of provocations.

February 16 Council of the Moscow Ossetian community announced its decision, which reads as follows: "We are appealing to all the Ossetians in Moscow to take part in a demonstration at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in support of the demand to recognize the genocide of the Ossetian people under the regime of Gamsakhurdia - Saakashvili from 1990 to 2008."

The Statement of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Republic of South Ossetia

Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Republic of South Ossetia has recently expressed its negative attitude to the meeting of the head of the Georgian Orthodox Church with several ethnic Ossetians in Moscow. This is a provocative act and is the first step to implement the policy of the Georgian authorities to create a "democratic" image of the present-day Georgia, as well as the shifting of blame for crimes against the people of South Ossetia on Saakashvili.

Statement of the South Ossetian Republican political party "Unity"

After suffering a collapse in their attempts to seize South Ossetia by military force, Georgia is using the resource of public diplomacy to achieve its goals. Messengers of the new Georgian regime, sent from Tbilisi, are designed to improve the image of their country in the eyes of Russians, shifting the responsibility for the blood of Ossetians and Russians on Saakashvili.
