Flash-poll: The Authorities of Georgia offer the people of South Ossetia and Abkhazia the neutral passports (in which the citizenship and the state belonging are not indicated). What is your attitude to such kind of offers?

At present, South Ossetia and Georgia have no any diplomatic relations absolutely, that means, Georgia does not exist in political sense for us. If Georgia does not apologize and does not acknowledge South Ossetia, it`s not worth-while to talk to her. One could not have a talk about any passports!

I live in the northern outskirts of Tskhinval. At night from seventh to eighth of August 2008 about 12 o’clock a missile burst next to our house. The light was switched off; the windows were knocked out by the explosive wave.
