This was the first visit of the head of the friendly South Ossetian state and it is very symbolic that the response delegation of Artsakh is in the republic next to the brotherly people on the day when a new page of its history is being written.”
Corresponding elections
illegitimate
On 9 June 2019, the so-called Republic of South Ossetia, located within the internationally recognised borders of Georgia, held “parliamentary elections”. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations does not recognise the sovereignty of the Republic of South Ossetia, while international institutions such as the OSCE ODIHR considered “elections” there as illegitimate and did not send international election observers there.
