PYATIGORSK, Mar 31 Head of North Ossetia Sergey Menyailo in connection with South Ossetia's intention to take steps on joining the Russian Federation, he said that Ossetians never lost touch with each other, remaining a single people. Earlier, President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov said that the republic would soon take legal steps to become part of Russia. Bibilov noted that the opportunity to realize this «strategic goal» was back in 2014, when Crimea was reunited with the Russian Federation following a referendum. According to Bibilov, in the event of the unification of South and North Ossetia, a single entity can be called Ossetia-Alania. «North and South Ossetians never lost touch with each other, did not move away, remaining a single people with a single culture, language, traditions. In various historical periods politicians made decisions that in one way or another changed the contours of administrative or state borders. But this never affected the desire of Ossetians to be a single whole, a single family. Actually, we live like this: we work in Vladikavkaz, and our house is in Tskhinvali, for the weekend — there, or vice versa. There, in the south, the graves of our ancestors, our architectural and cultural monuments, family towers. We are a single people and have never been divided spiritually and mentally,» Menyailo wrote in Telegram.
Yesterday, 20:43 Aggravation of the situation in the DPR and LPR Russia's victory in Ukraine will be a victory for South Ossetia, Bibilov said
