Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia

Twenty-three years ago, November 23, 1989 on the outskirts of Tskhinval was stopped a march of tens of thousands of the Georgian extremists, organized by leaders of the nationalist movements, through complicity of the authorities of Georgia. The march to Tskhinval was aimed at intimidating the Ossetians that would have to be followed by their expulsion from the territory of South Ossetia. That plan of the Georgian nationalists was thwarted, 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.
