Южная Осетия готовится к референдуму о вхождении в состав РФ

В своем послании к народу и парламенту 19 февраля президент Южной Осетии Леонид Тибилов заявил о референдуме вхождении его страны в состав Российской Федерации.

В частности он заявил, что "В текущем году мы намерены продолжить консультации с российской стороной по вопросу проведения референдума. Понимая всю сложность и деликатность вопроса, и не желая создавать для нашего стратегического партнера осложнений на международной арене, считаю, что референдум должен быть проведен в особой форме, - заявил Тибилов, - рассматривается возможность постановки на голосование вопроса о включении в текст нашей Конституции отдельной нормы, позволяющей президенту Республики Южная Осетия обратиться к Российской Федерации с предложением о принятии Южной Осетии в состав Российской Федерации в качестве нового субъекта".

По словам Тибилова, таким образом, республика получит твердые конституционные основания для инициирования вопроса о вхождении в состав России, и, при этом, не будет обязывать российскую сторону сразу реагировать на результаты референдума. Но в дальнейшем, по согласованию с российской стороной, у Южной Осетии будет возможность без промедления выйти с инициативой о вхождении в состав России.

Леонид Тибилов выразил озабоченность тем, что участились требования лидеров западных стран об отзыве Россией решения о признании независимости республики.

"Нас не могут не тревожить участившиеся требования лидеров западных стран об отзыве Россией решения о признании нашей республики. Нас тревожат и в целом резкое осложнение международной обстановки, события на Украине, в Сирии и на всем Ближнем Востоке, приближение НАТО к российским границам, продолжающаяся воинственная антироссийская и антиосетинская риторика наших южных соседей. В этих условиях мы еще острее ощущаем необходимость осуществления нашей давней мечты - воссоединения с Великой Россией и решения проблемы разделенного осетинского народа. Очевидно, что только таким способом мы обретем долгосрочные - на десятки и сотни лет - гарантии своей безопасности и мирного развития", - обосновал свое решение президент.

Campaign "Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025" launched

LINKS Europe is pleased to announce the launch of the campaign Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025. This will be the fourth Landmine Free South Caucasus campaign that LINKS Europe is co-ordinating since 2019, and like previous editions, the campaign will be regional, involving Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and will have five official languages: Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Russian and English. LINKS Europe will work with stakeholders in the three countries in the delivery of the campaign. The campaign will run from 1 September to 15 December. The first part, from 1 September to 15 November, will be largely informative, using media and social media, whilst engaging with decision makers and civil society in the three countries. In the second part of the campaign, from 15 November to 15 December, the focus this year will be on the human and economic costs of landmine contamination. The Campaign will again mark 30 November as the Day of Solidarity with the victims of landmines and other remnants of war in the South Caucasus. A spokesperson for LINKS Europe said this year the campaign takes special significance following the progress in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Process and the historic meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, together with the US president in the White House on 8 August. For six years, between 2018-2024, LINKS Europe worked on landmine issues in a very difficult political context, but always insisted that a regional approach was necessary for successful mine action in the South Caucasus. It consistently held that mine action could serve as a confidence-building measure in the region. Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025 will again push these ideas, but the context has changed, and the chance of success is now higher.
