Major Route in S.Ossetian Conflict Zone Reopened

A road which connects the Georgian villages in the South Ossetian conflict zone and passes through the region?s capital Tskhinvali has been reopened.
 
According to the press office of the State Minister for Conflict Resolution Issues, the decision to reopen this route was made during talks between the Georgian and South Ossetian law enforcement agencies on July 1.
 
The sides agreed that the route between the Georgian villages of Tamarasheni and Kekhvi will be jointly controlled by Georgian and Russian peacekeeping troops, while the route between the villages of Ergneti and Tamarasheni, which lies through Tskhinvali, will be controlled by Russian and Ossetian peacekeepers.
 
This road was closed after the situation deteriorated in the conflict zone following a May 29 armed clash between South Ossetian militias and Georgian police and the disappearance of four Georgians in the conflict zone on June 6.
