South Ossetia is closely monitoring the processes taking place in Georgia, Chairman of the Parliament Alan Alborov noted in the comment to IA “Res”.

“Is it possible to open a second front or carry out a provocation at the borders? Everything is possible in the modern world, and South Ossetia has lived under conditions of permanent aggression for many years. Based on this, it is necessary to monitor what is happening and be ready for any development of events,” he said.

South Ossetian-Russian relations have a very rich history and deep roots, the two nations are united by spiritual and cultural closeness, the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry stated, referring to the current stage of relations between the two countries.

In February, 14 violators of the legislation in the border sphere were detained at various sections of the state border of South Ossetia, of which 5 were violators of the state border regime, 9 - the border regime, the KGB said in the statement.

Fraternal relations between South Ossetia and Russia are being built in full compliance with the Treaty of Alliance and Integration of March 18, 2015, Znaur Gassiev, Ambassador of South Ossetia to the Russian Federation, said in the commentary to IA "Res ".

"This unique, unparalleled document defines long-term guidelines for bilateral relations, fixes the procedure for interaction in the field of social protection of the population, guarantees our state sovereignty and security," Gassiev said.

He has noted that Russia is the main strategic partner for South Ossetia.

The position of Georgia towards the Russian Federation does not suit the countries of the West, Zita Besaeva, a member of the South Ossetian Parliament, the Chairman of the Nykhas political party, told the “Res” news agency.

“Today we are observing the processes that are taking place in Georgia. It did not join the sanctions that imposed by the West against Russia and, of course, the idea of opening a second front,” Besaeva said.

According to the deputy, the situation in Georgia is being rocked from the inside in order to arrange a civil war, to carry out a coup d'etat.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed the unacceptability of the unilateral decisions of the co-chairs to cancel and postpone the scheduled rounds of the International Geneva Discussions, the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Servicemen participating in Russia's special military operation in Ukraine received another humanitarian aid from the Ossetian community of the Russian city of Novorossiysk. As the head of the community, Vitaly Gabaraev, told IA “Res”, the Ossetian fighters were delivered a Niva car and food.

The current events in Georgia should be viewed in the context of Western influence.

This is stated in the comments of the representative of the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry in Austria, Patrick Poppel, on the current situation in Georgia.

"I consider this development very dangerous for peace in the Caucasus. The US and Western states have no right to interfere in the sovereign policy of the Caucasian states," he said.
