“South Ossetian embassy” in Moscow calls on international organizations to address Georgia’s provocative actions

The Embassy of "South Ossetia" in Moscow provided diplomatic missions accredited to Russia, as well as the Section of Georgian Interests at the Swiss Embassy in Moscow. The de facto government speaks about its own version of deployment of the Georgian police checkpoint between Chorchana and Tsnelisi villages.

“Georgian law enforcement agencies started engineering-fortification works deployment of so-called Georgian police checkpoint in the vicinity of the village of Uista, Znauri district, through a grave violation of the state border of republic, that led to a very dangerous level of tension.

The South Ossetian side has expressed a firm protest against Georgia's provocative actions and demonstrated the provocative nature of official Tbilisi's actions based on factual cartographic and other materials.

We regret that Georgia's disinterest in a constructive dialogue and the lack of appropriate response from the international community, including the European Union and the OSCE, could lead to a repetition of tragic events like the 2008 Georgian aggression. Georgia's very dangerous actions on the South Ossetian border are the result of the counterproductive position of Georgian side, ignoring its commitment of non-us of force against South Ossetia and Abkhazia, " so-called the South Ossetian embassy said in the press release.

According to the so-called embassy, South Ossetia, which supports peaceful methods of resolving relations with Georgia, calls on international structures to address Georgia's actions, while reserving the right to "protect its territory and its citizens from aggressors."
