Переговоры в рамках женевских дискуссий

Within the framework of the Geneva discussions, the work is carried out not only on the topic of security, but also on the entire aspect of humanitarian problems. This was reported to the media by State Advisor to the President Konstantin Kochiev.

As an example, he has cited the problem of natives of the Kazbegi region (Tyrsygom), who for many years have not been able to access their homes and lands due to a ban by the Georgian authorities.

At all meetings in the format of the Geneva discussions, South Ossetia raises the issue of missing people, but the Georgian party sabotages the solution to the problem. This was reported by State Advisor to President of the Republic of South Ossetia Konstantin Kochiev, summing up the results of the 62nd round of the International Discussions on Security in Transcaucasia.

He has emphasized that this is a very important issue for the Republic.

The delimitation of the border between South Ossetia and Georgia, as well as between Abkhazia and Georgia, is one of the important tasks, Konstantin Kochiev, State Adviser to President of South Ossetia, said at the briefing following the 62nd round of the Geneva Discussions.

“Where there are no clearly defined borders, there is a breeding ground for incidents.

People may not know where the border line is and cross it without suspecting that they are committing an offense," Kochiev said.

The transfer of the platform of the International Discussions on Security in the Transcaucasia has become one of the points of discussion at the 62nd round of negotiations, State Advisor to President of South Ossetia Konstantin Kochiev said at the briefing in Tskhinval.

According to him, one of the reasons for the transfer is Switzerland's departure from the status of a neutral country.

The development of a document on the non-use of force against South Ossetia and

Abkhazia is at the forefront, but Georgia is not ready for this now. This was stated by State Advisor to President of South Ossetia Konstantin Kochiev during the press conference in Tskhinval, commenting on the results of the 62nd round of the Geneva discussions.

The South Ossetian delegation at the 62nd round of the International Geneva Discussions focused on the ongoing periodic provocations on the border from the Georgian side, the facts of deliberate violation of the state border regime and the need to continue marking the state border line with engineering structures as a real factor in reducing the number of such violations. This was reported by representatives of the delegation of the Republic of South Ossetia.

The Russian party called on Georgia to provide guarantees of the non-use of force against South Ossetia and Abkhazia and to launch the process of delimiting the borders with the two republics, according to the press release of the Russian Foreign Ministry following the 62nd round of the International Discussions on Security and Stability in Transcaucasia, held in Geneva on November 5-6.

“The participants confirmed their common commitment to this format, which remains a popular negotiating platform for the post-conflict restoration of Tbilisi's relations with Sukhum and Tskhinval.

The co-chairs of the Geneva discussions will advocate for preserving Geneva as a platform for negotiations. This was stated to the media by the UN co-chair Cihan Sultanoglu.

On Tuesday, a delegation of the co-chairs of the Geneva discussions arrived in the South Ossetian capital, including the UN, OSCE and the EU representatives.

It should be reminded that at the meeting between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the head of the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry Akhsar Dzhioev, the possible transfer of the Geneva discussions to another venue was discussed.

The Geneva Discussions on Security and Stability in Transcaucasia have proven their importance over the 16 years of their operation as a very useful mechanism not only in communication between the parties, but also as a mechanism for ensuring stability, ensuring the direct dialogue between Tskhinval and Tbilisi.

This was stated on Tuesday by the head of the South Ossetian delegation, State Advisor to President Konstantin Kochiev at the meeting with the co-chairs of the Geneva Discussions in Tskhinval.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov plans to discuss at the meeting with the South Ossetian Foreign Minister Akhsar Dzhioev where it would be more convenient to hold discussions on security and stability in the Transcaucasia, which had previously been held in Geneva.

"We are working closely with our Abkhaz friends within the framework of consultations on Transcaucasia which until recently were held in Geneva. Now we will see where it would be more convenient to organize such meetings," Lavrov said at the beginning of talks with his South Ossetian counterpart.
