“The referendum in South Ossetia was unnecessary, unhelpful and
unfair”, declared Terry Davis in reaction to the voting in the
breakaway Georgian region on Sunday.
“The results will not be recognized by the international community,
the vote did nothing to bring forwards the search for a peaceful
political solution and the circumstances in which it has been carried
out, especially the fact that the ethnic Georgians were not given
the right to vote, makes it irrelevant even as an indicative poll”,
Terry Davis stressed.
By the way, the calculations are still under way, but the local
authorities claim that the people have voted for independence and
for the acting President Edward Kokoyt.
Nevertheless, the EU does not recognize the results of the referendum.
