“’Kokoity Fandarast’ movement will act from September”

Akhali Taoba reports that the Tbilisi-backed anti-separatist Ossetian campaign "Kokoity Fandarast" plan to restart activity in September:

“Georgian Ossetian movement Kokoity Fandarast will renew its activity from September onwards, after a six-month hiatus.

According to movement leader Vladimir Sanakoyev, their passivity was caused by the tense political situation in Georgia and [its] two elections.

Sanakoyev said that their campaign partially showed Georgian and Ossetian people their unity.

‘During our activities in territory controlled by [separatist leader Eduard] Kokoity, nearly 200 people joined us. It is a big number considering the existing terror. We have not done anything special recently because the political situation in Georgia was tense. During this period, our members gained more experience and starting from September we will continue our activities against the Kokoity regime,’ said Sanakoyev.”
