Tskhinval, August 8, 2012

Throughout the whole epoch the Georgian rulers have been seeking to seize the ancient Ossetian lands and annihilate their Ossetian neighbors to expand the borders of Georgia. The genocide of the Ossetian people in 1920, the genocide of 1989-1992, the armed invasion in 2004 left never-healing wounds in the historical memory of the Ossetian people. With the proclamation of independence of Georgia each new ruler was launchingmilitary actions against South Ossetia. Each aggression of the Georgian forces against South Ossetia was distinguished by the barbarous inhumanity and cruelty.

Valentine Kesayeva, a representative of the Ossetian diaspora in France (International non-profit association «Renaissance Sandzidzan» «Revival"):
The tragic events of August 2008 are still alive in my memory. Then we were grieving, were suffering very much, we wanted to help, not even physically, but to support morally. We were grieving every moment, doing everything possible for people to hear the truth, what was really going on.
