The long-discredited European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has taken yet another biased step, upholding Georgia's case against Russia and awarding the aggressor, recognized by the European Union's International Commission, €253 million in compensation for the alleged human rights violations related to the 2008 conflict. This was stated in a statement by the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry.

As noted by the Ministry, this extremely biased and politicized decision, which fully reflects the organization's "level of justice," best demonstrates the true face of Europe.

The guests were met in the village of Ruсk by Minister of Economic Development Sarmat Kotaev, South Ossetia's trade representative in Russia Taimuraz Goginov, Chairman of the National Bank Soslan Bekoev, representatives of the Russian Embassy in the Republic, and other officials.

The South Ossetian Foreign Ministry issued a harsh commentary on the adoption of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution "Cooperation with Georgia" in Geneva on October 8.

The South Ossetian Foreign Ministry called the document a manifestation of "political myopia" and a loss of objectivity.

The South Ossetian Foreign Ministry expressed regret that "a once authoritative international body has begun to suffer from tunnel vision syndrome, trampling on its own traditions and statutory principles, and has completely lost objectivity, impartiality, and professionalism."

South Ossetian Foreign Minister Akhsar Dzhioev reported to President Alan Gagloyev on the results of his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

The diplomats' working meeting took place in Sochi on October 1.

According to Dzhioev, the talks were productive.

"The meeting, as usual, took place in a warm atmosphere. We discussed the full range of bilateral relations and touched on various topics of interagency cooperation," he said.

Dzhioev placed particular emphasis on the gratitude and positive assessments conveyed by the Russian Minister.

A telephone conversation took place between South Ossetian President Alan Gagloev and First Deputy Secretary of Security Council of the Russian Federation Rashid Nurgaliev.

During the conversation, the head of state congratulated Rashid Nurgaliev on his birthday, noting his significant contribution to the development and strengthening of friendly and strategic relations between Russia and South Ossetia.

Nurgaliev's role in ensuring security and stability in the region, as well as in promoting deeper cooperation at various levels, was particularly emphasized.

Media representatives from South Ossetia and the CIS will participate in the prestigious international seminar for heads and journalists of news agencies and media outlets from the CIS countries.
