In connection with the yesterday’s shelling of the capital of the Republic of South Ossetia IA «Res» correspondent turned for the commentary to the Head of RNO-Alania peacekeeping battalion Kazbek Friev. According to him on 14 June at about 23:40 Georgian side without any cause fired the RNO-Alania peacekeeping post «CARZ» with the automatic weapon and grenade launchers.
«The peacekeepers were ordered not to open a reply fire, but this have no effected upon the decrease of fire from the Georgian villages of Nikozi and Ergneti. Moreover the shelling intensified and focused on the town blocks what aroused a direct threat to the peaceful population and to peacekeepers themselves. Only after 40 minutes of intensive fire from the Georgian side RSO law enforcement organs posts opened a return fire. I have to say that such actions of the Georgian side are the rough violation of the achieved earlier agreements and contribute to further escalation of tension in the conflict zone»-said Friev.
