The official delegation from Syria will take part for the first time in solemn events on the occasion of the recognition of the independence of South Ossetia by the Russian Federation, said in an interview with Izvestia the Chairman of the Parliament of the RSO Peter Gassiev.
According to Gassiev, Syria's President Bashar al-Assad is planning to personally visit the Republic, but his visit, most likely, will not be timed to any event.
An invitation to the Syrian leader earlier during an official visit to Damascus was transferred by the President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov.
In addition to the guests from Syria, the delegations of the Federation Council and the State Duma are expected to arrive in Tskhinval.
"We expect to see the Chairman of the upper house of the Russian Parliament, Valentina Matvienko, as well as the State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin. In total, invitations were sent to representatives of more than 10 states, " Gassiev said.
The Speaker of the South Ossetian Parliament has added that it is also planned the visit of representatives of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and Transdniestria
