TSKHINVAL, March 11. /TASS/. Taking into account the slogans of Tbilisi protestors, calling for an attack on South Ossetia and Abkhazia, the political crisis in Georgia may present a threat to security and stability in the entire Trans-Caucasus, South Ossetia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its website on Friday.

"Clearly, the unfolding serious domestic political crisis [in Georgia], incited by the country’s Western curators and its so-called friends, may present a threat for security and stability in the entire Trans-Caucasus Region. This is confirmed by the evolution of slogans of protestors, who have gone far beyond Georgia’s domestic agenda and started calling for a new offensive on South Ossetia and Abkhazia," the statement says.

The ministry said the former Georgian republic of South Ossetia was seriously concerned by the developments, "particularly with regard to the nature of those protests," fuelled by "destructive political forces backed by Western stakeholders."

The ministry went on to say that for many years, the Georgian opposition has been backed by Western powers pursuing "their own interests, aimed at destabilizing the situation and demolishing the security architecture, created in the region after [the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia in] 2008."

The South Ossetian Foreign Ministry believes that the latest events in Georgia were a link in the chain of crises that broke out in Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria and Belarus.

"At present, the situation on South Ossetia’s border with Georgia is relatively calm. However, we would like to warn warmongers in Tbilisi, who are calling for a violent resolution of Georgian-Ossetian and Georgian-Abkhazian problems, against attempts to fuel tensions. A lot of [bilateral] issues still remain unsolved, and, therefore, this creates a strong potential for conflict," the ministry said.

The Foreign Ministry of South Ossetia expressed hope that Georgia’s current government would manage to resolve the domestic political crisis by political means and prevent the aggression from spilling to neighboring countries.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Tbilisi on March 7 and 8, after Georgia’s parliament adopted on first reading the Georgian version of a bill on registering foreign agents of influence. Both rallies ended late at night when security forces dispersed the protesters with water cannons and tear gas. More than 130 people were detained over two days of protests.
