On unification of south and north Ossetia

(the issue is submitted by the Central Executive Committee of Georgia)

Decided:

Not to stand against Resolution on unification of north and south Ossetia into one autonomous republic adopted by the Second Session of the Central Executive Committee of Georgia on 15 July of this year.

Special vision of the member of the Central Executive Committee of the Trans-Caucasus comrade A. Nazaretian: «taking into account the fact that it would be impossible to realize the economic unification in the nearest 5-10 years due to the lack of roads (the crossing between south and north Ossetia usually is locked for 9 months), the decision on unification seems is rather early.
