Last year, representatives of the Russian mass media actively discussed the question of whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia.Today, he has not lost its relevance due to the fact that the leaders of both countries are making every effort to sign an agreement on the integration and alliance.
members of the "United Ossetia" for joining
In the elections to the parliament faction "United Ossetia" won a majority, and its leader Anatoly Bibilov, responding to a question about how will any South Ossetia into Russia, said that he wanted this reunion.
However, before the Russian media wrote that Moscow was not very interested in such political consolidation.Despite this, the head of the ruling party was ready by popular vote to determine whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia.
first hearing and the issue of entry
After the first parliamentary hearings Anatoly Bibilov said that members of the legislature concluded that the question of erasing the administrative boundaries between the above states to decide the Ossetian people.
Earlier, the question of whether the will of South Ossetia to Russia, political analysts repeatedly raised Tskhinvali, but one of the phrases expressed Bibilov, gave a clear understanding of how the ruling party is set to be reunited with the Russian people.
«We firmly pursue the declared slogans and no double standards in their political intent is not valid.The question of whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia this year will be put to a referendum.At the same time we should not forget that such a decision must initiate the consolidated and capable Parliament ", - the politician said.
Nevertheless, talk of holding a referendum, which would have resolved the question of whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia this year, did not cause a serious buzz.
In the past, the assistant head of the Russian state pays a visit to Tskhinvali to discuss with the authorities the possibility of Ossetian erection of modern houses in the capital of South Ossetia.At that time, Anatoly Bibilov has not missed an opportunity to once again declare that the fate of the question of whether the will of South Ossetia to Russia in the near future will depend on the will of the people.
Public opinion
It should be noted that some of the Tskhinvali political analysts doubt that the decision to destroy the administrative border between Russia and South Ossetia will be taken by the popular vote.Not the least role in the issue of joining plays the views of the residents of North Ossetia, as they are one, close to the mentality of the South Ossetians.Moreover, if, for example, the question of whether the will of South Ossetia to Russia next year, will be resolved positively, in fact, such an act would not be considered as an extension of the boundaries of the said country.In fact, the consolidation will occur north and south, with the result that will be one subject of the Russian Federation - Ossetia.
That survey showed
It should be noted that members of the public of South Ossetia is no single point of view about what you will of South Ossetia into Russia.The war with Georgia would seem to put the record straight "and".One way or another, but the statistics - are stubborn things.
So, there will of South Ossetia into Russia?Who is behind this?It was found that only 79% of the respondents.The same number of residents of South Ossetia support the policy of the head of the faction "United Ossetia" Anatoly Bibikova.
It should be emphasized that the people of North Ossetia also disagree about whether you want to reunite with South Ossetians Russians.Our citizens also gave ambiguous answers to the above question
about 12% of respondents said that at the moment Russia's inappropriate to erase territorial borders with South Ossetia, as this may result in additional sanctions from the US and Europe.
remarkable fact that the vast majority of respondents to the question of whether there was a negative effect Western sanctions, gave a negative answer.
About 8% of those questioned were opposed to the South Ossetia became part of Russia, as they have confidence in the fact that South Ossetia - economically weak republic, which may adversely affect the development of some regions of the North Caucasus.
way or another, but many Ossetians believe that the initiative Bibilov the referendum will not be implemented and will remain in the status of pledges.It should be noted that the question of accession of South Ossetia to the Russian Federation has already put up for a referendum in the 90-ies of the last century, but the continuation of policy he had.
very high probability that today's referendum will be formal.
risk of Georgian aggression
For many political analysts it remains a mystery whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia.The border of Abkhazia is set more than a year, but despite this, many will remember the monstrous Georgian aggression.In this regard, officials of South Ossetia came to conclude a military alliance with Russia.Head of the Presidential Administration of the RSO device Chochiev commented as follows: "We have asked the head of the Russian government with the request to conclude an agreement on military cooperation in order to consolidate the group of forces and strengthen social security in South Ossetia."The official added that the project will be discussed in the near future.
«We have recommended to the international organizations to influence Tbilisi to Georgian authorities accepted the agreement on the nonuse of force.Unfortunately, in the course of numerous discussions, the Georgian leadership refuses to sign the above agreement, and I am convinced that we will give no assurance that the aggression would be excluded from the above-mentioned state.Note that the attack on South Ossetia and Russia in 2008 happened in the then existing safeguards on the use of force, "- said Chochiev.
threat of annexation
course, today many are concerned the question of whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia.Abkhazia, Russia has developed for itself a "single safety circuit" and it would be prudent RSO create it for themselves.Abkhazian State has concluded with the Russian Federation cooperation agreement, which involves the formation of strategic partnerships and joint armed forces.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin stressed that Abkhazia this year will be allocated about 5 billion rubles, and will be funded annually in the amount of 4 billion rubles.
With this in mind, the authorities of South Ossetia must be clearly addressed the question of whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia.Abkhazia, Russia - strategic partners, but, unfortunately, not everyone approves of such cooperation.In particular, the representative of the Georgian government, Zurab Abashidze has condemned international integration of Abkhazia and Russia, positioning it as a "step towards the annexation of Abkhazia."
also had the expected response from NATO.The above-mentioned agreement on strategic partnership and cooperation of the representatives of the North Atlantic Alliance is not recognized.US explains this by saying that the document was signed in violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia.
way or another, but at the moment does not lose relevance of the question: "Do you enter South Ossetia to Russia"?Abkhazia has already made his choice, and we can confidently say that this is not lost, but rather won.
Will fulfilled campaign promises
For many political analysts, it remains unclear the fact why the Ossetians did not immediately went on the road and not the Abkhazians have entered into a partnership agreement with Russia.Whether you enter South Ossetia to Russia?Abkhazia - Russia or not?Whether to join the union of South Ossetia?Uncertainty in these issues in part dictated by the peculiarities of mentality of the Ossetian people, and the unwillingness of officials to radical changes.As already emphasized, the situation began to change when the parliamentary elections won by Anatoly Babilov that another election debates promised to reunite Russia and South Ossetians.
Agreement on Military Cooperation
fairness it should be noted that between South Ossetia and Russia signed over eighty cooperation agreements.It would seem, where else?One way or another, but did not have an official document that would regulate military coordination between the Armed Forces of South Ossetia and 22th base.Military department Russia concluded with South Ossetia leadership a huge amount of economic agreements focus: on pensions, on the supply, the assignment of awards and titles.However, there was a gap in the legal field, when it comes to military cooperation in the event of force majeure.
should be noted that the Abkhazian authorities with hostility by the news of intent to conclude the above agreement: say, if the Russian general will command the Republican Army, the independent state will lose its sovereignty.Residents of South Ossetia, on the other hand, reacted with approval to the signing of an agreement on military cooperation.
ruling party is active
head of the party "United Ossetia" Anatoly Bibilov, in turn, has constantly stated that under favorable conditions legislatures of both countries in the near future will be able to ratify the agreement.He even called the approximate date when it could happen - the first decade of 2015.
Bibilov also added that the signing of the document on strategic partnership with Russia will provide an opportunity for both countries to get out of the impasse into which they were driven by the Geneva accords.
«For years, there is evidence the agreement, but the effect of them is practically no no.Also, there are no specific steps and absolutely no action is being taken to ensure that the non-aggression pact to reconcile "- the official said.
Head of the faction "United Ossetia" did not rule out that the opposition represented by the Tbilisi leadership will obstruct the Contracting Parties.
«Georgian officials have become completely dependent on the decisions of the United States, so the factor of Abkhazia and the Crimea in Tbilisi will play an important role.We will conclude an agreement with Russia or not, we will still put a spoke in the wheel "- said Bibilov.
For many parliamentarians of South Ossetia remains a fundamental question of whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia or return to independence.Opinions were divided, but a significant part of the deputies in favor of the integration of Russia and South Ossetia.
«Home national idea of our people - is to establish partnership relations with the Russian Federation in the social and military-political sphere, until the destruction of administrative boundaries", - said one of the members of parliament of South Ossetia.
"Insidious" plan
As noted above, officials in Tbilisi treat your question as to whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia or return to Georgia.They are categorically against South Ossetia and Russia's cooperation in the military sphere.
«Representatives of the Georgian diplomacy are already trying to do everything possible to prevent the creation of the aforementioned alliance.On the side of Tbilisi perform authoritative international organizations and Western politicians who consider the Kremlin's actions as a form of occupation and annexation, "- reported by the media.
negative assessment of rapprochement between Russia and South Ossetia gave Paata Zakareishvili, who is the official in charge of the Georgian government in matters of civil equality.He added that the Kremlin is with South Ossetia and Abkhazia foul play, since he first recognized the independence of these republics, and now is trying to take away the sovereignty once approved, sloping sides to sign illegal agreements international legal character.
way or another, but the opposition accused the cabinet of "Georgian Dream" and the inadequacy of his call for a more hard-line policy.The faction of the former head of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili - "United National Movement" - approves the imposition of additional sanctions on Russia by the West.In 2008, the European Union is not aware of how dangerous the Russian authorities in relation to neighboring countries.Today it was the turn of Ukraine.However, it is important that the European Community has given guarantees against Russian aggression not only Ukraine, but Georgia.This position was expressed by the representative of the party National Movement Giorgi Baramidze.
Besides, Saakashvili's supporters are calling to terminate all agreements with Russia.
Kremlin's reaction
Last year, representatives of the presidential administration repeatedly said that the head of state, Vladimir Putin, and the head of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and the current Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev rejected the idea to erase the administrative border between Russia and South Ossetia.This decision was dictated by the fact that Moscow has previously officially recognized the independence of South Ossetia, and this circumstance is taken into account in the first place in the building of international relations with the neighboring republic.
principle of independence and is the basis for cooperation in the military field, despite the fact that about eighty have already signed agreements.
course, primarily interested in the union of Russia and South Ossetia was felt in the Tskhinvali and the decision of the question depended largely on the will of the Ossetian people.In fairness it should be noted that, according to sociologists, the public of South Ossetia feel more secure from external threats when it is under Russian jurisdiction.But in terms of sovereignty guarantees tranquility they seem shaky.In any case, the South Ossetians have to strive to establish a functioning and economically developed state, is inconceivable without the cooperation with the Russian Federation.
Today's situation
Recently, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin addressed the parliament a draft law providing for the ratification of an agreement with the Republic of South Ossetia on the integration and alliance.Only after deputies approved the legislative act will be completely aware of the fact whether the will of South Ossetia into Russia.According to documents that the parties plan to sign, Moscow and Tskhinvali largely extend the boundaries of cooperation.First of all we are talking about the agreement, which provides for an alliance and integration.Serious emphasis will be placed on that part of the agreement, which spelled out the provisions of the expansion of the partnership in the military sphere.
course, do not have to be a rocket scientist to make a few simple conclusions that arise from this cooperation between Russia and South Ossetia.First, the head of Joint Forces will be representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry.Secondly, the territorial border of South Ossetia, from the legal point of view coincides with the state border of Russia.
