Uniting the veteran community is a long-overdue step, and its primary mission must be to support the families of the fallen heroes.

This was stated by ex -President of South Ossetia, Anatoly Bibilov, at the meeting of the Association of Veterans of the Republic’s Patriotic War and Participants in the special military operation.

He has noted that the destinies of the Republic of South Ossetia and the Russian Federation are inextricably linked.

On September 15, 1821, the courageous people of Nicaragua determined their path toward freedom and independence—a path rooted in respect for a rich historical heritage and fidelity to the national ideal of unity and a heroic struggle for justice.

This sentiment was expressed in a congratulatory message of the South Ossetian Foreign Minister Akhsar Dzhioev to the Nicaraguan Foreign Ministers Denis Ronaldo Moncada Colindres and Waldrak Ludwing Jaentschke Whitaker on the occasion of the Republic's Independence Day.

South Ossetia will celebrate the State Flag Day and the 36th anniversary of the Republic's proclamation with a military parade, an art fair, and a festive concert.

The festivities begin on September 19 on the Tskhinval’s Theater Square with a ceremony dedicated to State Flag Day (starting at 12:00), according to the Republic's commission for organizing state-level events.

"The following day, September 20, at 10:30, flowers will be laid at the bust of Torez Kulumbegov—a prominent political figure and Chairman of the Republic's Supreme Council from 1990 to 1993.

Acting President of South Ossetia Marat Kambolov commented on the possibility of opening the border with Georgia for transit traffic through the Republic's territory.

According to him, this question was raised during a meeting with the South Ossetian citizens residing in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.

"Let me be clear: South Ossetia is not yet ready for this— neither psychologically or in terms of the necessary regulatory framework.

For our people, the issue of security is bound up with the war we endured and the losses we suffered.

On Thursday, South Ossetia is marking the 17th anniversary of the recognition of its independence by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

This date—September 10, 2009—is considered a pivotal moment in the history of the establishment of the South Ossetian statehood.

On the occasion, of this significant date, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia, Akhsar Dzhioev, sent a congratulatory message to his Venezuelan counterpart, Félix Ramón Plasencia González.

On Wednesday, South Ossetia is marking the 18th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation.

This event, which took place on September 9, 2008, initiated an official interstate dialogue that has since evolved into a deep strategic partnership and alliance, the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry noted in a statement marking the occasion.

South Ossetia has recorded five instances of residents of Georgia illegally crossing the state border between July 23 and the present, Egor Kochiev, the head of the Republic's delegation to the IPRM (Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism) format, told reporters.

He has emphasized that the border violations by the Georgian citizens are continuing, despite South Ossetia's security efforts.

"Of the five individuals detained, three were expelled because their actions were not intentional. The other two remain under investigation in the Republic.

Acting President of South Ossetia Marat Kambolov announced on his Telegram channel a meeting with Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov.

The head of state has noted that the Russian Minister was accompanied by a representative delegation consisting of the heads of leading universities and research organizations.

"Our Russian colleagues are ready to become reliable partners for the Republic and provide practical assistance in developing science, education, healthcare, and agriculture," Marat Kambolov has emphasized.

The first banknote of the National Bank of South Ossetia, "Kosta Khetagurov," is on display at the exhibition in Ajman (United Arab Emirates). This was reported by the bank's press service. The Ajman International Philatelic & Numismatic Exhibition is organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the State of Ajman (UAE).

"The South Ossetian 100-sarin banknote is generating interest among dealers and collectors," the press service has noted.

The notion of a "common homeland" does not stand up to historical scrutiny, and the obsessive use of terminology about the so-called occupation is devoid of both legal and political logic, the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry stated, commenting on the speech of Irakli Kirtskhalia, head of the Georgian Dream faction.
