De-facto president : There will be no military confrontation, whatever the Georgian side wants!

Anatoly Bibilov, so-called "president" of "South Ossetia", urged the population not to follow the rumors and to remain calm.

“Dear friends, fellow citizens! Due to the situation in the village of Uista (Tsnelisi), many people have started to aggravate the situation in the republic. I would like to explain to everyone that there will be no military confrontation, whatever the Georgian side wants!

Residents of the village of Uista are already in complete safety, and the Alania State Border protect them! I also deny the rumors that the president has taken his family out of the country! My family is in the country, except of my elder son, who went to Russia with his mother for education, ”Bibilov wrote on Facebook.

He urged fellow citizens not to trust the rumors because "they never do good."
