On October 10, the occupied Tskhinvali region’s so-called security council said that it will restrict movement across the occupation line in October, during the parliamentary election in Georgia.
“In order to ensure the safety of the population of [occupied] South Ossetia, to exclude possible provocations from the pro-Western and nationalist radical forces of Georgia, a decision was made to suspend the work of the simplified border crossing points …,” the press service of the de-facto authorities reported.
The head of the de-facto council, Alan Gagloev also mentioned that “taking into account the information received, including even from the open sources, we see that the situation is getting more complicated” in Georgia, which prompted the occupied region’s decision.
Parliamentary elections in Georgia will be held on October 26, 2024.
