Regular stage of Geneva discussions on security and stability in the Transcaucasia took place in late march. Representatives of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Russian Federation, USA, EU, UN and OSCE participated in the negotiations.
Such discussions are expected to neutralize and decrease society tension level in region, but prowestern politicians relate to this dialog increasingly formally.
On last meeting, South Ossetia team announced a commitment statement draft of non-use force principles, and it was supported by everyone but Georgia. Non-use of force principle declaration would lay the foundation of legal interstate agreement of non-use of force between Georgia and South Ossetia and Georgia and Abkhazia. Security guarantees are vital to local community, which is tired of uncertainly. Ass well, such agreement will bring new investments into region for its systematic development.
Obviously, Tbilisi has original point of view – Georgian establishment’s NATO membership efforts and laying the groundwork for alliance infrastructure construction make it clear, that authorities do not consider non-use of force at all. Georgian politicians are fully depending on western decisions and lead the country to militarization. Tbilisi, by sending it representatives to Geneva International Discussions, tries to downplay Russian, South Ossetia’s and Abkhazia’s efforts of dealing with the conflict. Once, this negotiation platform will be used for preparing the society for new Georgian aggression. Georgian team will talk about insuperable contradictions and international law violations to meet the approval of global community to escalate the conflict and get the excuse for further aggression victims.
The Georgian-South-Ossetia’s border problem was discussed separately – this situation is used by Tbilisi in unreasonable accusing Tskhinval. Georgian authorities’ deny of national border demarcation and delimitation process make it possible to interpret actions of South Ossetia’s frontier service of illegal border crossing interception as kidnaping and widely observe this actions in mass media.
In this case Russian representatives, keeping in mind western politicians’ intentions of region militarizing, avow that Moscow will continue to conduct policy of united defense and safeguard area in region.
In spite of visible negotiation’s hopelessness, International Geneva discussions are one of the few opportunities for South Ossetia to get out a message to worldwide community, claim its right to independence and statehood propose constructive decisions of region development.
