Residents of Leningor district of South Ossetia expelled in the 90s from their homes by the Georgian authorities want to return home. As Eleonora Badoeva, the Chairman of the State Housing Commission on the distribution of houses, told IA RES, about 80 families of refugees would return to Leningor district as soon as they receive guarantees that their houses there are returned to them. "In the 1990's, many Ossetian families in Leningor district of South Ossetia have been forced out their homes - told Bedoeva. - Citizens of Georgia moved into the apartments of Ossetians and illegally re-executed them for themselves.
All this was the results of the illegal acts of the Government of Georgia. In those years, no court hearings took place to look into the fact that people are forced out of their houses. Two years have passed from the time when Leningor district was brought back under the jurisdiction of South Ossetia and the people, who were forcibly evicted from their homes, are waiting for the day when the authorities of the Republic could give them the opportunity to move back into their homes.” " According to Bedoeva, the return of these refugees would have a positive impact on the life of Leningor district and the Republic as a whole. "The influx of healthy forces, Ossetian intelligentsia, which was expelled from Leningor district, will dramatically change the situation in Leningor. Here, we need people who speak the Ossetian and Russian languages. Teachers, doctors, engineers - all left the area in the 90s. They are ready to go back and develop the economy, culture and education. It would be very positive for the Republic as a whole ", she said. According to Bedoeva, in the near future, a meeting of refugees from Leningor district with the leadership of the Republic would be organized, where issues of their return home would be discussed.
