The next meeting within the framework of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM) will be held on Friday, March 5, said Plenipotentiary Envoy of South Ossetia for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev.
The Georgian authorities continue to create completely false ideas about South Ossetia among the international community, - said the Presidential Envoy for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev.
The South Ossetian party, according to him, at the meeting with the co-chairs of the Geneva discussions, drew the attention of diplomats to the fact that recently there were several visits of distinguished guests, who were brought to the border with South Ossetia in the Razdakhan region instead of theaters and showed them South Ossetia through binoculars.
At the next round of the Geneva discussions, the South Ossetian party will again raise the issue of the non-use of force and will seek important steps in this direction,” said Presidential Envoy, head of the South Ossetian delegation at the discussions, Murat Dzhioev.
According to him, the signing of a legally binding document on the non-use of force between South Ossetia and Georgia, Abkhazia and Georgia is remaining important, but the non-constructive position of the Georgian delegation hinders progress in this direction.
The South Ossetian party at the meeting with the co-chairs of the Geneva Discussions stated that the solution of security problems should begin with work to ensure the security of border areas - from the Tsnelis region, where at the end of August 2019 the Georgian side had illegally set up a police post on the territory of South Ossetia. This was announced by the Presidential Envoy for post-conflict settlement Murat Dzhioev at the briefing following the visit of foreign diplomats.
South Ossetia attaches great importance to the Geneva discussions in in ensuring the security and stability of the people of the Republic, and links lasting peace and security in the region as a whole with the Geneva process,” said Murat Dzhioev, the Presidential Envoy for post-conflict settlement, at the meeting with diplomats.
