Pertaining the statement of G. Margvelashvili
The President of Georgia after visiting the military airdrome and obviously satisfied by observing Georgian military helicopters flights made very strange statement that Georgia plans to regain the territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia solely by peaceful means “and if Russia recognize that Abkhazia and South Ossetia are part of Georgia it will no longer be the enemy of Georgia”.
On 8 of September Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of South Ossetia in the Republic of Abkhazia O. I. Botsiev arrived to Tskhinval for consultations.
Ambassador met with the President of the Republic of South Ossetia L. H. Tibilov. The meeting was also participated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia D. G. Sanakoev.
South Ossetian leadership stated more than once that first priority in foreign policy for South Ossetia is further integration with Russian Federation. The process of integration between two states is going on intensively. To date there are signed more than 70 international agreements, a number of new agreements are presently in process of elaboration, besides, negotiations of signing of new agreement of friendship and cooperation are under way.
Amendments made on August 4, 2014 in the Federal law “Of citizenship of Russian Federation” and some legislative acts of Russian Federation oblige Russian citizens to inform about availability of foreign citizenship, residence permit or any other actual document of permission to permanent residence in foreign state.
Thus, RSO citizens with Russian citizenship ought to notify in written form the territorial authority FMS of Russia of their place of residence about RSO citizenship in 60 days (till 4 October 2014) after the entry into force of these amendments.

Pertaining to NATO summit in Wales
At Wales NATO summit conducted on 4-5 September Georgia received a considerable stack of “Enhanced cooperation” that although not granting a membership in Alliance but empowers Georgia’s access to intelligence, to participation in military trainings and strengthens cooperation in defense sphere. Besides, United States through the head of Defense Ministry Chuck Hagel who met with his Georgian college in Tbilisi on September 7, called for Russia to withdraw troops from Georgian border.
A working meeting between members of delegation of South Ossetia at Geneva Discussions headed by Presidential Envoy on post conflict resolution Murat Jioev with Co-Chairmen of Geneva Discussions on security and stability in Transcaucasia, representing EU, OSCE and UN, took place in Tskhinval on 15 June 2014.
The main subject of the meeting was devoted to preparatory work on 29th round of Geneva Discussions planned for beginning of October.
Amendments to the Federal Law of RF on Citizenship were made in June 2014. According to the amendments that come into effect in August 2014, those citizen of Russia that have double citizenship are obliged to inform Federal Migration Services. Information concealment is under administrative and criminal responsibility.
During the last few days at different international venues many high-ranking officials often make statements that living conditions in South Ossetia are steadily deteriorating and human rights being violated everywhere. At the same time western curators of Georgia repeat relentlessly that Georgia is a display stand of successful changes and flagship of high-pitched democracy.
During the last few years UN General Assembly has been accepting draft resolution on refugees and IDPs from Abkhazia and South Ossetia, repeating the content of the document every year, Georgia tires to impose on the International Community a one-sided, politicized and biased approach to the refugee problem to back up its illegal territorial claims.
