Published in News Digest

By empty (3/22/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

South Ossetia is planning to demand through the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation to be recognized as part of Russia on the basis of historic documents, the president of Georgia’s breakaway republic Eduard Kokoity said on Wednesday. “There is a document on the entry of Ossetia into the Russian Empire in 1774, and there is no document on the withdrawal of the southern part of Ossetia from Russia,” Kokoity said. Meanwhile, an official at the chancellery of the supreme body for Constitutional justice in Moscow told Itar-Tass that the Constitutional Court may consider, in principle, South Ossetia\'s membership bid.
