Statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the RSO

Оn 11-15 April 2011 in Strasburg will start the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PAСE), where among other subjects is planned to discuss Georgia’s commitments observance as a member of this authoritative international organization.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia draws attention of the members of PAСE to the fact that Georgia demonstratively continues ignoring the undertaken international obligations, implementation of which was a condition of the acceptance of this country to the Council of Europe.

With deep pain perceived the people of South Ossetia the news of terrorist act committed at the “Domodedovo” airport in Moscow on 24 January 2011which caused multiple human casualties.

There is no and should not be any justification for such bloody actions leading to the downfall and suffering of guiltless people.

Acting in a spirit of goodwill, the Russian side has relocated deep into South Ossetia the border post that was for two years in disputed territory near the village of Perevi (western border of South Ossetia with Georgia).

This was preceded by serious preparation. Under the auspices of Russia’s FSB Border Service, a 10-plus km bypass road had been built in difficult mountain terrain to connect the Karzmanskoye Gorge to the rest of South Ossetia. It is important in supplying the local Ossetian population.

On August 7-8, 2010 memorial events dedicated to the second anniversary of atrocious aggression of Georgia against South Ossetia are holding.
