The leadership of South Ossetia, headed by President Alan Gagloev, Speaker and deputies of the Parliament, as well as members of the public, laid flowers at the "peacekeepers stele" located on Peacekeepers Street in Tskhinval.
The laying ceremony was also attended by Russian Ambassador to South Ossetia Marat Kulakhmetov, ex-president Leonid Tibilov, military personnel, including former peacekeepers.
On Friday, the Republic is celebrating the 31st anniversary of the entry into the Republic of the Joint Peacekeeping Forces in the zone of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict.
It should be noted that on July 14, 1992, a mixed peacekeeping force (JPKF) was introduced into the zone of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict, which became the guarantor of peace for the next 16 years, until Georgia's armed attack on South Ossetia on August 8, 2008.
