The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in South Ossetia Russian border guards are equipping the border with Georgia and installing engineering barriers and fences. According to local residents, the barbed wire, set up by border guards, runs right across dwelling settlements.

"This is the continuation of the so-called ‘borderization’ process and one of the forms of barricades that have been erected for several years already," Ms Tsikhelashvili has stated, noting that yesterday, on August 2, residents of Artsevy and other villages demanded from South-Ossetian authorities to be able to get closer to the territory controlled by Georgia. "It’s better to meet the population’s interests than go against them. Such actions undertaken by the current regime in the conditions of occupation are against human interests," said the Minister.
