Kazbulat Tskhovrebov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Interview to German magazine ZUERST!
— August 2015 saw the 7th Anniversary of one of the most bloody and tragic dates in modern history of South Ossetia when in the early hours of August 8, 2008 hundreds of guiltless people were killed as a result of a treacherous attack by Georgia upon South Ossetia. These casualties are an irreparable loss for the small-numbered Ossetian nation. Memory of the atrocities and crimes committed by Georgian troops at Ossetian land will remain an open sore in heart of each Ossetian. The feat of the defendants of Tskhinval, Ossetian and Russian peace-keepers, soldiers and officers of the Russian army, who defended people of South Ossetia of killing, will always be an object of pride and worship.
