On the fifth anniversary since recognition of State Independence of South Ossetia by Russian Federation
During decades Georgia was aiming to assert its rule over South Ossetia, using everything for suppression, including ethnic cleansing and direct genocide. Establishment of a sovereign State was the only way for people of South Ossetia to protect their right for life, freedom and human dignity under permanent threat of war from Georgia.
On 10 August 2013 police vehicle of the MIA crossed State border of the RSO from territory bordering with Georgia in village Artsev, Tskhinval region. The vehicle ignored numerous requests to leave territory of South Ossetia. Border guards of the RSO KGB border service had to make a warning shot into the air, only after that the trespassers returned to territory of Georgia. The incident was observed by EU Mission monitors.
Unfortunately, this is not the only provocative incident when representatives of Georgian armed forces try to violate border of Republic of South Ossetia.

Twenty-three years ago, November 23, 1989 a march of tens of thousands of Georgian extremists, organized by leaders of nationalist movements, with the complicity of the authorities of Georgia was stopped on the outskirts of Tskhinval. The march to Tskhinval was aimed at intimidating of Ossetians and it was to be followed by their expulsion from the territory of South Ossetia. Georgian nationalists plan was thwarted then, however, those November days were a prologue to the long struggle of the people of South Ossetia for the right to life, liberty, and human dignity.
