Prosecutor General of South Ossetia, Uruzmag Dzhagaev, announced the decision of the Prosecutor General’s Office to retrain the crime committed on May 20, 1992 from “murder” to “genocide”.

In South Ossetia has been commemorated one of the worst tragedies in the history of the republic - the shooting of civilians on the Zar road, who were leaving the front-line Tskhinval on May 20, 1992. 27 years have passed since then, but there are crimes that have no statute of limitations. That May day will forever remain a day of pain.
