"I fully support the unification of the Ossetian people with Russia," said the so-called president of "South Ossetia" Alan Gagloev.

According to the de facto leader of the occupied region, the unification of "South Ossetia" with Russia is a centuries-old dream of the Ossetian people, for which many people sacrificed themselves.

"As the son of my homeland and the president elected by the people of South Ossetia, I fully support the unification of the Ossetian people with Russia. Another question is whether now is the historic moment when it is necessary to issue an order to call a referendum and force it," Gagloev said.
