Brussels/Agency Caucasus – The European Parliament heard on Wednesday from an official representative of South Ossetia about his country’s position on the conflict of recognition between Georgia and South Ossetia that reawakened in the wake of Kosovo’s emergence as a new, fully independent country in the Balkans.
Dmitri Medoyev, South Ossetia’s official representative for Russia, addressed in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, where the headquarters of the European Commission is located, members of the European Parliament about the goings-on that have an implication for South Ossetia, the problems that affect negotiations between South Ossetia and Georgia, and what the administration of South Ossetia thinks of as a likely way out of the stalemate.
Aleksei Senakoyev, Chairman of the Ir, which stands for the Patriotic Youth Association of South Ossetia, was also among the group of officials who went to Brussels from South Ossetia. He was invited by the Socialist Group to attend the parliamentary discussions about South Ossetia. He emphasized the need that the truth should be known in Europe about the problem facing both Georgia and South Ossetia. "We will now try to talk about what is going on there; and we will try to make it heard that Georgia intends to damage stability in fact." Sanakoyev futher said that he and his friends had brought with them documentary evidence to show how the conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia has emerged and how Georgia has had a genocidal treatment of Ossetians.
Sanakoyev invited members of the European Parliament to Georgia and South Ossetia so that they could have their own evaluation of the situation.
The Ossetian group of officials who went from South Ossetia to Brussels had in it Alena Gagloyeva, an English teacher as well as a member of the Youth Parliament of South Ossetia, and Tamara Terashvili, a journalist. ÖZ/FT
