President
of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Gagloyev,
I am very happy
to see you and to get to know you.
I will not describe
relations between South Ossetia and Russia – I think it needs no comment, they is
of a special nature. That said, I would like to note that we are developing
relations in all areas, including the economy.
Our trade grew
by 12 percent last year, which is overall a good figure. We continue to develop
most all of our programmes – the investment programme, the programme for socio-economic
development, the programme of financial aid and the credit programme for aid
and support for South Ossetia.
As for ensuring
security, the republic has a Russian military base, and our structures there maintain
very close cooperation in this respect.
I am sure there
are also some issues that we need to discuss. I am at your disposal and am very
happy to see you.
Welcome.
President
of South Ossetia Alan Gagloyev: Thank you for this opportunity to convey to you personally the words of sincere gratitude on behalf of the people of the Republic of South Ossetia.
We remember
that the Russian Federation was always close to us when the republic was going
through hard times, and that it has been giving us valuable support, up to this
day. We remember August 2008 when the people of South Ossetia faced the threat
of almost complete annihilation, but then the aggressor was stopped due to absolutely
correct and timely decisions.
We are fulfilling
our duty and showing our gratitude today, not only in words but also in our
actions. Ossetian fighters are upholding our common history, common values, and our common faith along with their Russian brothers in the special military
operation. I must say that all of them go there with confidence in victory
because they understand that they are fighting for the truth and for historical
justice. I must note that many of them have state awards from the Russian Federation.
We see the complicated
geopolitical processes taking place today. Therefore, we should coordinate our actions
for the sake of common security as much as possible.
To be continued.
