Georgia accuses South Ossetia of repressions, Tskhinvali refutes everything
Georgian media have promulgated, with reference to a source in the local Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), the information that the authorities of South Ossetia had launched mass repressions against those Ossetians, who took part, on November 12, 2006, in alternative election of the President of South Ossetia held in the territory earlier controlled by Tbilisi. Tskhinvali refutes all statements of this sort.
According to Georgia's MIA, Eduard Kokoity's regime plans to carry out similar repressions against citizens of Georgia of Ossetian origin in the Akhalgori (Leningori) District and in the future, as the Georgia-based Internet edition "Our Abkhazia" writes.
In their turn, the authorities of South Ossetia assert that these statements of the Georgian party are disinformation.
"These statements are nothing more than another disinformation disseminated by Georgian leadership, which tries in every way to blacken the government of the Republic of South Ossetia and destabilize the situation in pre-frontier areas," Teimuraz Khugaev, General Public Prosecutor of South Ossetia, explained as quoted by the "Res" Ossetian Agency.
