Anatoly Bibilov: Georgian post in Tsnelis is a thorn that makes the whole body of the Republic hurt

The Georgian post in Tsnelis is “a thorn that makes the whole body of the Republic hurt, de-facto president of occupied Tskhinvali region of Georgia Anatoly Bibilov said at the meeting with co-chairs of the Geneva discussions, who have arrived in Tskhinvali to discuss the agenda of the upcoming discussions.

As agency RES informs, so-called “the head of state” expressed confidence that the removal of the “illegal Georgian post actually removes all the problems discussed.”

“This is a kind of rope end that you have to pull to solve the problem. You demand from us to solve problems for which South Ossetia has nothing to do. The only way to resolve the situation is to ask you for help so that you influence Georgia not to commit provocative actions,” he said.

Bibilov noted that almost before each round of the Geneva discussions, various provocative actions are constantly carried out by Georgia.

“So this time, were recorded numerous violations of the state border by Georgian citizens, including a person who himself confirmed the fact of a deliberate violation of the state border of South Ossetia, and this, according to the head of state, is a continuation of the Georgian policy pursued with respect to South Ossetia,” he said.

According to the de-facto leader, it is time for the “Georgian side to recognize that the Republic of South Ossetia is the independent state, and in this regard to build the work with South Ossetia.”
