Today is the Memorial Day of the victims of the Eredvi tragedy.
On March, 18th, 1991 the Georgian armed formations captured the lorry with the peace inhabitants of an ossetian nationality, moving to their villages. After brutal tortures and mockeries the 12 persons have been buried alive in a tomb, having become brotherly to them. To find the burial place and to identify the victims became possible only two years later, in 1993.
Such crimes according to the international law are regarded as the crimes against the humanity and the demonstration of genocide. However the then and the present authorities of Georgia, as well as the various international organizations, did not accept any measures on investigation of this crime. Moreover, the people, guilty of it and the other misdeeds, enjoy in Georgia the glory of national heroes.
In the memory of the victims of the Eredvi tragedy, today in the town church of Tskhinval has taken place the public prayer on the innocent killed and the putting of mourning wreaths at the monument to the victims of the Georgian aggression.
