North Ossetia and Ingushetia Sign “Peace Treaty”

North Ossetian President Taymuraz Mamsurov and Ingush President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov signed an agreement on cooperation and good-neighborly relations between the two Russian constituent regions. The agreement is intended to relax the tension between Ossetians and Ingushes dating back to the 1992 armed conflict of ethnic militias killing hundreds civilians. Now Ingush refugees may return to their home places in North Ossetia. The Ingush President, in turn, has declared that Ingushetia does not have territorial claims to North Ossetia.
