THE APPEAL OF THE 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.
