“The Georgian refugees living in the enclaves in South Ossetia will not be allowed to return to their villages,” leader of unrecognized South Ossetia Republic Eduard Kokoity said in his interview to Kommersant newspaper, APA reports.
He explained it by two factors. “Firstly, the Georgians will not be able to return to their homes in connection with security and secondly, we need villages to settle Ossetian refugees from Georgia,” he said.
Kokoity said Georgian villages in the territory of South Ossetia had been actually destroyed.
“When Ossetian troops entered Georgian villages, there was almost no civilian there. Some of them were evacuated by Georgians, others left the area through humanitarian corridor. I do not rule out facts of plundering in Georgian villages, but such cases may happen in any war,” he said.
