Twenty tragedy Ossetian-Ingush conflict

Ossetian-Ingush conflict are two little people who live side by side in the same area for many centuries.Aggravation of the confrontation phase began in 1992, but armed clashes took place only five days - with the thirty-first day of October to 4 November of the same year.

Background

main "bone of contention" was the Prigorodny District, whose territory at various times lived Alans, then Ingush.

during the Stalinist repression of the Chechens and Ingush were deported to Kazakhstan and Siberia, and vacant land included in the North Ossetia and Ossetians settled.

Fifteen years after the tragic events, it was decided on the rehabilitation and the return of Chechens and Ingush to their native territory, and they began again to occupy their villages.But Ossetians were not prepared to give ground on which already grow roots.Therefore, the Prigorodny district was left in a part of North Ossetia, and in return the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic received several other territories.

the summer of 1992 as part of the Russian Ingush Republic was formed, but its boundaries were not clearly defined, and the Prigorodny district remained in the zone of interests of the Ossetians and the Ingush.Against the background of this difficult situation was provoked by armed conflict.

outbreak of hostilities

October 30, 1992 began shelling Ingush villages of Prigorodny district to Ingush ever left these lands.On the night of 30 of October 31, there was a conflict between the military forces of the warring republics, and first of November to the territory of the Russian troops were introduced.Then Emergency Rescue Committee organized the Ingush population, a task which has been evacuated from the war zone.After Russian troops lit the warring parties, Ossetians started to hostage-taking and killings of Ingush.Almost all Ingush population was forced to leave their homes and flee to the territory of Ingushetia.

consequences of Ossetian-Ingush conflict has caused many deaths, killing more than 600 people, nearly 1,000 were injured, many people are still missing.It was destroyed thirteen Ingush villages of Prigorodny district, where there were military operations.More than ninety percent of the historical and cultural values ​​in the area have been lost forever.

The conflict about thirty thousand Ingush were deported from South Ossetia.However, many died during the long crossing of the border.

any significant events in Ingushetia or Ossetia after that did not happen, and now the conflict dragged on.

Further developments

active actions amounting Ossetian-Ingush conflict, there have been more than twenty years ago, but at this time their impact has not been completely eliminated.Both sides have repeatedly entered into various agreements, which, however, did not promote resolution of the causes of conflict.So, Ingushetia demands the return of the Prigorodny district in its structure and maintains that Ossetia delaying the resettlement process.And that, in turn, indicates that the number of refugees Ingush overstated, also in the area does not yet have the necessary moral and psychological environment for the cohabitation of the two peoples.

Attempts to resolve the conflict

In 2004, Putin signed a decree according to which the obligation to resettle the refugees were assigned to his office in the Southern Federal District.

In 2005, Ingushetia was the only Russian region that has not been defined administrative boundaries.According to one of the laws they have to be defined taking into account the seized land in a part of Ossetia.In another the same law, a change in the borders of the territories can only take place by mutual agreement of the parties, which failed to achieve.Later that same year, was drafted a strategic plan, which should be completed Ossetian-Ingush conflict.In this regard, details the timing of the return of the Ingush, the place in which they were to be settled, and many other details.But Dzasokhov, President of Ossetia, refused to sign the document.

Thus, the conflict in South Ossetia, which began because of a small piece of land has continued for two decades, and as yet there is no real way to finish it.
