THE APPEAL OF THE BUREAU OF PARLIAMENT OF GEORGIA to the population, residing on
the territory of the former Autonomous District of South Ossetia
Despite the
systematic efforts of the Georgian authorities, by means of the dialogue and
the negotiations, to create conditions for the peaceful settlement of the
conflict, the separatist regime of Kokoiti and its
subordinated illegal armed formations, purposefully were trying to escalate and
to tense up the situation. Their recently realized actions shall be definitely
assessed as the military aggression against the Georgian state and first of
all, against the peaceful population residing on the territory of the former
Autonomous District of South Ossetia. The illegal
armed formations opened fire to the peaceful population and despite the fact
that for the sake of maintenance of peace the Georgian authorities were
refraining from opening of response fire, they continued to terrorize of
peaceful population and mass bombings.
Based on the above-mentioned, the Georgian authorities have been forced to take
all the measures for the protection of peaceful population in the region,
cleaning of the territory from the illegal armed formations and creation of
necessary conditions for peace, stability and development.
The Parliament of Georgia reiterates the firm will of the Georgian authorities to build unified, democratic state, where will be guaranteed the rights and freedoms of all the persons, regardless of their ethnic origin.
The Parliament of Georgia appeals to the ethnic Ossetian
citizens of the region and once more confirms that in the unified Georgian
state will be guaranteed full spectrum of their rights and freedoms, in the
entire country will be safeguarded their identity and development, they will
have all the necessary conditions for realization of cultural, economic, social
and political rights.
The Parliament of Georgia appeals to the population of the region to keep calm
and to refrain from participation in the military activities, inspired by the
illegal armed formations.
The Parliament of Georgia expresses belief that in the nearest future in the region will be restored peace and on the territory of the former Autonomous District of South Ossetia will be created all the conditions for peace, development, stability and dignified life.
