Kotayeva: There will Be No War, Georgia Will not Attack South Ossetia

Maria Kotayeva, the Head of 'State Committee on Information and Press' of the region of Tskhinvali (South Ossetia), commented on the recent developments at the administrative borderline (ABL) and escalation of tension on site, earlier today.

“There will definitely not be a war,” she stated, adding “Georgia will not attack South Ossetia, as it will be unfavorable for Georgia itself in the first place. Even though Georgian politicians dream of returning Abkhazia and South Ossetia, no-one is going to repeat the steps made by the desperate Saakashvili.”

Kotayeva noted that the recent developments at the ABL represent an attempt by the Georgia Government to focus society off their inefficient work eradicating domestic social issues. In addition, she strongly focused on the agreements of South Ossetia and the Russian Federation, outlining that aggression towards South Ossetia will be assessed as aggression towards Russian military forces, located on the territory of the region.

Kotayeva criticized the Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili and stated that Georgia is not a reliable partner on the international political arena.

“Salome Zurabishvili, as well as her predecessors, promised to return South Ossetia and Abkhazia. But there is no need to pay attention to such silly, empty promises,” she said.
