Former WBA Super and IBF World Heavyweight Champion Murat Gassiev will again be forced to postpone his return to the ring and, accordingly, his heavyweight debut. The reason for this was the coronavirus pandemic and the ban on mass events.
“The debut was planned for April 25. But at the moment, due to the coronavirus, the date has not been confirmed,” TASS quotes the Gassiev team’s representative.
The Parliament of South Ossetia has ratified the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of South Ossetia and the Government of the Donetsk People's Republic on cooperation in the field of emergency prevention and response.
The issue at the parliamentary meeting was put forward by the head of the Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-Parliamentary Relations Zaza Driaev. Deputies unanimously supported the Agreement.
In South Ossetia, will be done everything so that citizens who have a majority and Russian citizenship can express their opinion on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, said President of the Republic Anatoly Bibilov.
On March 18, 2020, in connection with the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Georgian Aggression against South Ossetia, the South Ossetian Embassy in Russia sent a press release on the criminal act of genocide regarding the peaceful Ossetian population on March 18, 1991, the Embassy’s press service reports.
The press release states:
“On March 18, 1991, in the South Ossetian village of Ered, occupied by Georgian armed gangs, twelve civilians of Ossetian nationality were tortured.
On Thursday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia received the Note of the Embassy of the Russian Federation to South Ossetia, which informs about the possibility to consult Russian citizens on the issues of returning to the Russian Federation (including those permanently residing in the Republic of South Ossetia) who find themselves in a difficult situation due to the spread of a new coronavirus infection, , the press service of the Foreign Ministry of South Ossetia reports.
The Ered tragedy will forever remain in our memory, because the atrocities shown on March 18, 1991 cannot be kept in the mind of a normal person, said the head of state Anatoly Bibilov at the mourning rally at the Zguder cemetery.
Ossetian genocide cannot be divided into South Ossetian and North Ossetian, the tragedy of the people is one, said the President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov, speaking on Wednesday at the international scientific and practical conference at the South Ossetian State University dedicated to the 1920 Ossetian genocide.

Among the tragic events and dates, with which, by the will of fate, the modern history of Ossetia was saturated, the Ered tragedy occupies a special place. On March 18, 1991, near the village of Ered, with the support of "civilians", Georgian informals put off 25 Ossetians from the Ural military vehicle belonging to the Internal Troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Treaty of Alliance and Integration between the Republic of South Ossetia and the Russian Federation, signed in March 2015, is without a doubt very important based on the desire of the people of South Ossetia to join the Russian Federation, said President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov.
