Recognition of the two sovereign states - South Ossetia and Abkhazia will take place sooner or later, and they will take their places in the United Nations, said Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, during the Moscow-Sukhum-Tskhinval video bridge on the Sputnik-South Ossetia platform.

In his opinion, this issue will largely depend on the results of the special military operation.

Georgia is trying in every possible way to avoid signing a document on the non-use of force, said Konstantin Kochiev, State Advisor President of the Republic of South Ossetia, head of the working group at the Geneva discussions, during the Moscow-Sukhum-Tskhinval video bridge on the Sputnik - South Ossetia platform.

He has noted that South Ossetia has been working on this issue for a long time, “but so far it has not been possible to come to any results.”

The Geneva discussions are not only meetings in Geneva itself, during which there is a short and tough discussion of the agenda, it is also daily work, when hotlines work on all sides, and there is a constant dialogue on cross-border issues. This was stated during the Moscow-Sukhum-Tskhinval video bridge on the Sputnik-South Ossetia platform by Konstantin Kochiev, State Advisor to President of the Republic of South Ossetia, head of the working group at the Geneva discussions.

Georgia is trying to achieve the international discussion of the refugee problem at the UN General Assembly without the participation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Vyacheslav Chirikba, director of the Center for Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Abkhazia, said during the Moscow-Sukhum-Tskhinval video bridge on the Sputnik-South Ossetia platform.

“We are for all parties - representatives of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Georgia - to participate in the discussion, but Georgia is against our participation,” he said.

The head of the South Ossetian Parliament Alan Alborov and Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin signed a cooperation agreement in Moscow on Monday, the press service of the Republic of South Ossetia reports.

“We are reaching a new level of cooperation, filling our work with concrete content. This is our contribution to the development of relations between the countries on the part of parliaments; it will give impetus to interaction,” emphasized Vyacheslav Volodin.
