None of the border markers along the perimeter of the state border of South Ossetia is outside the sovereign territory of South Ossetia - Khokh Gagloyty
July 11, 2015 the Georgian media disseminated information of the analytical department of the Georgian Interior Ministry.
The main essence of common materials is that the South Ossetian border guard units in the statement called as "the Russian occupation forces," supposedly set up border markers beyond the territory of the Republic of South Ossetia.
In this particular case we are talking about the sections of the state border of the Republic of South Ossetia, located to the south of the South Ossetian villages of Tsinagar an Orchosan.
The situation was commented by the head of the South Ossetian delegation in the format of IPRM Khokh Gagloyty:
"We inform you that in this area South Ossetian border guard units carried out the planned work to set up border markers of the Republic of South Ossetia, on its own territory of South Ossetia, at a distance of 50 m. to the state border of South Ossetia. In some cases were carried out the works on replacement of boundary markers, previously damaged by unidentified persons.
These activities were presented to the analytical department of the Georgian Interior Ministry, jointly with the special representative of the Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Abashidze, to the Georgian information space as the "shift of the Tskhinvali occupation line a few hundred meters into the territory of Georgia."
Thus, in determining of this "problem" in the statement of the Interior Ministry of Georgia there are such words as "the territory adjacent to the village of Tsitelubani in Gori district," etc.
Leaving aside questions of competent presentation of issues in a freestyle geographical manner, apparently, it would be appropriate to note that with the same success the Georgian representatives may designate Trabzon area adjacent to the Georgian town of Poti.
In this case, it is useful to remind that the South Ossetian side has proposed to start the joint work of the commission on delimitation and demarcation of the border.
As the head of the South Ossetian delegation in the IPRM format, I announce that none of the border markers along the perimeter of the state border of the Republic of South Ossetia is outside the sovereign territory of South Ossetia.
Inflated informational hysteria by Georgian representatives on the fact of planned works carried out along the border of South Ossetia by the border guard units can be characterized as a vulgar provocation of the Georgian authorities.
"Anxiety" of some persons from the Tbilisi political and administrative establishment on functioning of the international section of the Baku-Supsa oil pipeline, which runs through the territory of South Ossetia, looks far-fetched. The "suggestions" about an alternative route, obviously with facile possibilities of drawing funds from foreign sources, cause ironical smile.
The section of the Baku-Supsa oil pipeline through the territory of South Ossetia is functioning in proper working way. If you have questions to the service of the Baku-Supsa pipeline, the company operator BP may apply to the RSO, and there is no doubt that that it will be done everything for its full operation.
In the final part of this statement, estimating the analytical department of the Georgian Interior Ministry, it is worth noting that, if it could be find some logical explanation for the previous information show, it is hard to find any reasonable explanation for the current information dance, arranged by the analytical department of the Georgian Interior Ministry.
I would also like to express a firm reliance that the accredited diplomatic corps in Georgia will not perceive the propaganda interpretation of the Georgian authorities, but opted for a competent and qualified study of the issue. "
