Expanding in Syria crisis causes more and more concern in South Ossetia. Coming from this state news are witnessing of another armed incidents, bloody terrorist acts in Damascus and numerous victims among the peaceful population. Today Syria faces difficult times and first of all due to the so called foreign well-wishers who from the one hand proclaims democracy and from the other arms nailers thus pushing opposing sides to further fierce and irreconcilable confrontation.
In this connection Tskhinval consider such initiatives and interference knowingly destructive. They are not only leading aside the nature of problem, but impeding achieving of actually realistic decisions which could stop present escalation of violence. Syrian people must itself make its choice. An affirmative solution of the conflict cannot be achieved without the creation of conditions creating a supportive environment for the terrorism and double standards no matter where are they came from.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia calls for the cessation of any types of violence at the territory of Syria and considers that there are chances for the peaceful settlement in Syria no matter what.
In South Ossetia follows the events in Syria and expresses hope that the leadership of the state will be able in short terms find ways for solution of developing crisis by political means.
