Provocations can not change the attitude of the people of South Ossetia to Russia, President Eduard Kokoity said at the meeting with the heads of law enforcement and security structures of South Ossetia, RIA Novosti reports.
"People like Michael Mamiashvili and Dzambolata Tedeeva are not Russia. They are not the face of Russian team, and they will never make anyone in South Ossetia change his attitude towards Russia and its people," said Kokoity. The President noted that in South Ossetia, no one regards the incident of April 18 as a disrespect to the country.
