Official comment by the press Secretary of the President of South Ossetia on a media question about a video circulating on social networks on Thursday with insults to the head of state
President of South Ossetia, Anatoly Bibilov, never had and has no ties with Aslan Gagiev. Anatoly Bibilov is not familiar with Gagiev and has never met with him and has not even spoken on the phone, Dina Gassieva, press Secretary of the President of South Ossetia, told reporters.
"Gagiev did not take any part in Bibilov's election campaign. The current President of the Republic of South Ossetia was brought to power by the people of the Republic. And the statements that someone brought the President of the country to power are the insult to its people.
It is clear that Gagiev, who faces a life sentence on charges of numerous serious crimes, is trying to finally grab a little attention from the media and society. And unlike the 2017 elections, right now he is trying to influence the political processes in South Ossetia," the press Secretary said.
According to her, insults to the President of the State of Alanya will not be ignored. "There will definitely be a legal assessment and an appeal to the court," she said.
