Today the military men of the ossetian battalion of JPKF, carrying service at Tsinagar observant post of JPKF - the assistant of the company commander Murat Bighenov, the fire sergeant ensign Vitaliy Valiev and the commander of the branch sergeant Aron Khachirov have been detained by the employees of the branch of the state security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia as a result of special action. The correspondent of the agency "Res" have been informed about it at the information-analytical department of the apparatus of the south-ossetian part of the Joint Control Commission.

«Today the ossetian nation lives in a very complex and hard time. At the end of the XXth century the ossetian nation, as in the North so in the South has experienced such cataclysms that became tragical, and they will remain forever in our history». That is spoken in the appeal of the South-Ossetian branch of the All-Russian national social movement «Styr Nykhas» to the ossetian people, the peoples of the Caucasus, the international community.

Approximately at 18:00pm the georgian side has fired from an automatic weapon the post of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia near the georgian-populated village Avnevi in the area of Znaur region of the Republic of South Ossetia. The press-service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia informs about it.
The fire was conducted from the georgian peace-making post in Avnevi within half an hour. The ossetian side did not open reciprocal fire. According to the preliminary data there are no victims there. At present the group of monitoring, consisting of the representatives of the Joint Peacekeeping Forces and the Mission of OSCE, has driven over to the place of the event with the purpose of finding-out the reasons of the incident.

As the correspondent of the agency «Res» has been informed at the information-analytical department of the ministry under special commissions, the council of veterans of the Republic of South Ossetia has addressed the staff of the Joint Peacekeeping Forces with the request to check up the reliability of the information about the demolition of a monument to victims of the Great Patriotic War in the village Tamarasheni. However the georgian side has admitted nobody to the location of the monument and has not allowed to hold a monitoring, and the representative of the peacemakers from the georgian side Kakha Urushadze in an oral form has informed, that the monument was not dismantled but renovated. These words contradict the day before spread information of the georgian authorities that no monument was and had been at this place, and the question was of a memorial board, that nobody touched.

«The legislation of my country, of Russia, does not allow me as the head of one of its subjects to be engaged in international activity, therefore I shall express my opinion as the citizen of Russia, as an ossetian», the Head of North Ossetia Taimuraz Mamsurov has declared to InterFax on Tuesday, making comments on the request of the agency the official statement of the embassy of the USA in Georgia, in which they suggest to enter an international monitoring on the Rokskij tunnel at the Georgian-Russian border. «Suggesting the entry of an international monitoring of the Rokskij tunnel, the Embassy of the USA in Georgia shows its absolute diminished responsibility, having forgotten, that this delirium actually already touches the territory of North Ossetia, that is the South of Russia», Taimuraz Mamsurov has noted.

In Abkhazia there takes place the meeting of the President of Abkhazia Sergey Bagapsh with the President of the Republic of South Ossetia Eduard Kokojty and the President of Karachay-Cherkessia Mustafa Badtyev.
As Eduard Kokojty has informed the correspondent of the agency "Res ", the meeting has an informal character.
«We have a great deal of problems to discuss. While I can tell, that we all want peace on the Caucasus and shall make maximum efforts for the achievement of this aim, even if someone would be desirable the opposite», Eduard Kokojty has told.

The repair brigades liquidate the illegal cuts on the water-sluice Edis-Tskhinval.
An agreement, that the south-ossetian repair brigade would get an entry permit on the territory of the georgian-populated villages together with the georgian workers for carrying out of the repair works on the water-sluice, had been reached between the co-chairmen of JCC from the ossetian and the georgian sides Boris Chochiev and Dmitriy Mandzhavidze.
According to the chief of the housing and communal services of the administration of Tskhinval Dmitriy Dzhussoev, already today, though only part of the repair works is done, the water delivery to the town has increased.

The USA are neither the party, nor the intermediary in the negotiating process and statements without corresponding argumentation and logic only confirm the unilateral approach to the situation, so the President of RSO Eduard Kokojty has commented on the statement of the embassy of the USA in Georgia about the joint monitoring of the Rokskij tunnel.

Today the ambassador of the USA in Georgia John Teft has declared that the international community should take «the uncontrollable Rukskij tunnel». We inform specially for his data (if he does not know that till now), that the Rukskij tunnel is not uncontrollable, it is under double control. It is controlled by the Russian Federation from the north, and by the Republic of South Ossetia - from the south. The control of the Republic of South Ossetia over the southern portal of the Rrukskij tunnel, we explain to Taft, is carried out on the basis of the norms of international law, providing the right of the nations and the people on self-determination, on the basis of all the complex of acts and norms of international law, being in action on the moment of declaration of state independence of the Republic of South Ossetia in the beginning of 90th years.

In September the georgian authorities are going to organize the so-called «march of peace» to the borders of South Ossetia. Considering the aggressive rhetoric of the management of Georgia, promising to solve the problem of South Ossetia in the nearest future and as a whole the intense situation in the zone of the georgian-ossetian conflict, this action can result in nothing except for the next coil of intensity. There had already been a similar march in the history of the georgian-ossetian relations.
