Georgia and South Ossetia dividing water and gas

Official Tbilisi received a warning from South Ossetia concerning gas. As reported by GHN, the document stipulates that if the Georgian party does not settle the problem of gas supply in Akhalgori, in summer Tskhinvali will respond by "politicizing" the problem of irrigation water supply. This statement was made by spokesman of the South-Ossetian delegation at Geneva talks David Sanakoyev.

"The issue of gas supply to Akhalgorsky region of RSO remains unsettled for several years. Georgian party has been politicizing the issue within the whole period of time, leaving the residents of the region without gas for two winters running. We have pointed at the helplessness of international organizations, such as OSCE and UN, in settling humanitarian problems", - Sanakoyev said.

As he remarked, in summer, the gas issue will fall into the shade, while the supply of irrigation water from the South-Ossetian territory to Georgia will become relevant. "We stated that this being the case, the issue of water supply will be settled at the same pace", - Sanakoyev added.
