Южная Осетия отложила проведение референдума о присоединении на 2017 год

Как стало известно в четверг вечером, правительство непризнанной республики Южная Осетия отложило предлагаемый референдум о присоединении к Российской Федерации.

Об этом заявил президент самопровозглашенной Республики, Леонид Тибилов, по итогам встречи с другими политическими представителями. Вокруг некоторых деталей референдума были разногласия, например, должен ли он состоятся до или после президентских выборов, и будет ли на нем поставлен вопрос непосредственно о присоединении, или же каснется только конституционных поправок, которые позволят позже вступить в состав Российской Федерации.

Правительство США решительно осудила любые референдумы о вступлении.

"Наша позиция по Грузии заключается в следующем: Мы поддерживаем суверенитет Грузии и ее территориальную целостность, которая включает в себя Южную Осетию. Следовательно, мы не признаем попытки Южной Осетии в обретении независимости или суверенитета, мы это не поддерживаем", заявил представитель Государственного департамента, Марк Тонер.

Как предполагалось ранее в этом году, на референдум планировалось вынесение вопроса о изменении в статью 10 Конституции, которая позволила бы обратиться к российскому руководству с вопросом о присоединении.

Недавно Леонид Тибилов заявлял, что референдум будет проведен "до августа" этого года. "Я абсолютно уверен, что люди скажут" да "," сказал он в апреле. В ответ на это президент России Владимир Путин заявил, что он "не может противостоять" любому предложенному референдуму. Тибилов неоднократно ясно излогал свое стремление к полной интеграции Южной Осетии с Россией.

Россия признала Южную Осетию, наряду с Абхазией, после войны с Грузией в августе 2008 года.

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.
