South Ossetia Raises Territorial Claims to Georgia

South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity brought forward territorial claims to Georgia. "We have serious territorial issues which have to be raised. And we will raise them. This is about the Truso Gorge, currently a part of Georgia's Mtskheta-Mtianeti region - this is an indigenously Ossetian land that for some unclear reason was transferred during Soviet times to the administrative control of the Georgian Soviet Republic," Kokoity told RIA Novosti. "Today we must raise the issue of returning these lands to Ossetia," Kokoity declared.
