Kokoity Warns Against Ties with Alternative Governments

South Ossetian leader Eduard Kokoity has said that anyone, who establishes contacts with Dimitri Sanakoev?s alternative government in South Ossetia or the Abkhaz government-in-exile stationed in the Tbilisi-controlled upper Kodori Gorge will not be given entry to the territory of South Ossetia.

?Any contacts with the self-styled governments are inadmissible for us? recognition of their political status is the height of cynicism and provocation,? the South Ossetian Press and Information Committee quoted Kokoity as saying on April 11.

The Tbilisi-loyal South Ossetian alternative government was installed in the Georgian village of Kurta, near the breakaway South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali last November.
