The de facto leader of Georgia’s occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region Anatoly Bibilov has invited Syrian president Bashar al-Assad to the region in the wake of the US, UK and France joint strikes on Syria in retaliation for the use of chemical weapons.
De facto Tskhinvali, which is recognised only by Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Nauru as an independent country after the Russia-Georgia 2008 war, claims that " the Ossetian people understand the feelings of the Syrian people, who have to live in war”.
The de facto leadership hopes that the Syrian people "will live in peace, and that financial support by Russia will also play a positive role for the welfare of Syrians.”
The wave of strikes against the Assad regime, which is supported by Russia, was labelled as the most significant attack against Assad's government by Western powers in seven years of the Syrian civil war.
Russia and Tskhinvali region (South Ossetia) – a Georgian territory occupied by Russia – are preparing a deal to simplify the process of obtaining Russian citizenship for the people of the region.
Locals of the Russian occupied Georgian region of Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) cannot use the crossing-point between the breakaway region and the rest of Georgia for three days.
Forging and strengthening international contacts is the best force against the so-called ‘Alliance and Strategic Partnership’ treaty signed between Russia and Georgia’s breakaway region Abkhazia, says the Georgian Prime Minister’s special representative for relations with Russia Zurab Abashidze.
The international community believes last weekend’s parliamentary election in Georgia’s breakaway region South Ossetia are "illegitimate”.
De facto leader of Georgia’s eastern occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region Anatoly Bibilov says that his “country” wants a direct dialogue with Tbilisi, or such a dialogue to be mediated by Russia, Bibilov told the Russian media Izvestia.
