More Madness In Ukraine--South Ossetia Wants To Break Away And Join Russia [Picture]

The breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia said it plans a Crimean-style referendum on joining Russia, drawing a furious riposte from Tbilisi over a move that risks inflaming the Kremlin’s already frayed relations with the West.

Leonid Tibilov, president of the self-declared republic of South Ossetia, said he had laid out the plans during a meeting with Vladislav Surkov, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest advisers, on Monday.

“Today’s political reality is such that we must make our historic choice and be reunited with brotherly Russia so that we can ensure the security and success of our republic and people for many centuries,” Tibilov said, according to a statement released by his office after the meeting.

“The referendum, the positive outcome of which I have no doubt, will allow us to unite our people,” he said. Tibilov did not name a date for the referendum and said a decision about how to proceed after the vote would be agreed with the Kremlin.

Georgia and Russia fought a short war over South Ossetia and another separatist region, Abkhazia, in 2008. After it ended, Moscow, whose forces triumphed, recognised both regions as independent countries, though most other nations have not.  source:
