The decision of the Council of the Moscow Ossetian community adopted 14.02.2013
Against the background of warming the Russian-Georgian relations are growing moods of anxiety in Ossetia, the risks of losing the national sovereignty. The situation is stirred up by a statement of Ivanishvili on non-use of force in addressing the issue, but reckon on public diplomacy, the evidence of which is a friendly meeting of the Georgian Patriarch with the Moscow Ossetians, free medical assistance to the people of South Ossetia in the Tbilisi hospitals, growing shuttle trade, travel of the Ossetians from South Ossetia and North Ossetia – Alania to Georgia on vacation, including to play in local casinos, plans to restore the Ergneti market, etc.
Position of the Russian Federation was clearly announced by Vladimir Putin, who had ruled out cancelling the recognition of independence of South Ossetia. We have not the slightest reason to distrust him. He has repeatedly proved his iron position and adherence to principles.
President of the RSO Leonid Tibilov has also clearly stated the impossibility of official contacts with Georgia unless it recognizes the independence of South Ossetia, condemns the criminal regime, brings to justice those responsible and compensates the damage, caused to South Ossetia.
Political parties and organizations of various kinds, and sometimes differing views on the structure of the country, are united in protecting the national interest in condemnation and punishment of the Georgian fascism and its leaders.
The twentieth anniversary of the referendum on the independence of South Ossetia was another reason for the Ossetians, living in Europe, to appeal to the relevant international institutions, including the European Parliament, to recognize the genocide of the Ossetian people, committed by the fascist regime of Georgia, its condemnation and obligation to compensate the damage.
The German-Ossetian Cultural Society in Berlin, headed by Alexander Sokhmann (Sokhity) applied to the Council of the Moscow Ossetian community to support the action.
We are appealing to all the Ossetians in Moscow to take part in a demonstration at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in support of the requirement to recognize the genocide of the Ossetian people, committed by the regime of Gamsakhurdia - Saakashvili from 1990 to 2008. The time and date of the rally will be announced after the approval of the authorities in Moscow.
We asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia to develop a clear concept of counteraction to deprive South Ossetia of the state sovereignty. The concept should include the methods of traditional diplomacy, wide propagation of the concept among the Ossetians living in South Ossetia and abroad.
We are appealing to all Ossetians, living in Moscow, RSO, North Ossetia - Alania, Russian regions and abroad to refrain from contact with government officials, representatives of public and religious organizations and private persons of Georgian nationality, who have not recognized and have not condemned the Georgian fascism, and who do not want to recognize the independence of South Ossetia.
We believe, it is impossible for a member of the Council of the Moscow Ossetian community the involvement in public organizations, working against the interests of Ossetia,expressing affiliation policy towards the Georgian Republic and speaking for deprivation the RSO of the status of an independent state, both by using force or by other means.
It should be noted, that a member of the Council of the Moscow Ossetian community Gocha Dzasokhov has voluntarily resigned.
Chairman of the Council of the Moscow Ossetian community Kabolov V.
