Occupied Tskhinvali on Irakli Kobakhidze’s statement: We consider any talk about joining Georgia to be absolutely inappropriate

The so-called ministry of foreign affairs of occupied Tskhinvali responds to the statement of the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, according to which the goal of the Georgian government is to return Abkhazia and Tskhinvali.

"We consider any talk about joining Georgia to be absolutely inappropriate. The Republic of South Ossetia is a state that gained its independence in a long bloody struggle with Georgian fascism and paid a huge price for freedom," said the so-called ministry.

According to them, the choice of the population of South Ossetia is not subject to review and the so-called "country" chooses the path of building sovereign statehood and strengthening integration ties with the Russian Federation. The agency added that such statements can "become a real threat to stability and security in the region."

For information, the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, in his speech at the ceremony dedicated to the Independence Day of Georgia, said that it is the Georgian dream that "on the 40th anniversary of the restoration of Georgia's independence - in 2030, we will live in a united and strong Georgia with our Abkhaz and Ossetian brothers and sisters. The united and strong Georgia should become a full-fledged member of the European family in 2030".
