In the Republic of South Ossetia, even the slightest signs, the slightest manifestations of instability should not be allowed, President of the Republic of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov said, speaking at the solemn meeting on Wednesday, held in Tskhinval on Defender of the Fatherland Day.
“We see what dramatic changes are taking place in the world, what disturbing processes characterize the current stage of human development. There is an alarming escalation of tension, one by one, seats of conflicts are emerging in different parts of the planet.
Let's face it, the North Atlantic military bloc has set a course for the so-called "containment" of Russia. We are talking about a whole range of military-political measures implemented by Russia's enemies along the entire perimeter of the borders, aimed at destabilizing, unleashing conflicts, drawing Russia into confrontation on a vast stretch of new and new fronts," the president said.
He has noted that absolutely any means and technologies are used - from propaganda tricks to inciting internal conflicts, the so-called "color revolutions" and even external aggression.
"The examples of Ukraine, Artsakh, Armenia, Kazakhstan and other states are before everyone's eyes.
In a situation of the existing and growing risks, complacency, relaxation and carelessness are unacceptable.
I think that in this hall no one needs to further explain the geopolitical position of the Republic, to talk in detail about the threats posed by the neighborhood with a country that has been dreaming of seizing our land for centuries," the head of state stressed.
According to him, it is quite obvious that the defense capability of the state is most directly related to socio-political stability.
“Even the slightest signs, the slightest manifestations of instability in the Republic should not be allowed.
Now, during the election campaign for the election of the President of the Republic of South Ossetia, any attempts to play on the emotions and feelings of the people, provoke unrest and sow confusion are absolutely unacceptable for us.
National accord and unity, the absence of lines of sharp internal political split on fundamental issues have always been an advantage and success factor for South Ossetia. Maintaining this advantage is our direct task," the head of state said.
Bibilov has stressed that it is the obligation and duty of all those who wear shoulder straps, whether they are law enforcement agencies or military personnel of the Armed Forces, to maintain a high level of the country's defense capability and make every effort to ensure this internal political stability.
"The Republic should be able to respond promptly and adequately at any time, to give an appropriate response to any challenges or threats, no matter where they come from," he said.
The solemn meeting was attended by officials of the Republic, representatives of various power structures of the state. The event ended with a festive concert performed by creative teams from the south and north of Ossetia.
