The Georgian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement regarding the de facto presidential elections held in South Ossetia.

"That what happens there is not regarded as elections. This activity, planned in the Kremlin, is controlled from Moscow and Moscow is responsible for their consequences," Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze said at a press briefing on Monday.

She said the activities in the occupied territories are not coordinated with Georgia.

"Unfortunately, human rights are violated there, and we hope that international community will react to it respectively," Kalandadze said.

Military actions were launched in the Georgian territory, South Ossetia on Aug.8 in 2008. Later the Russian troops occupied the Tskhinvali city and drove the Georgian military back. Russia recognized the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in late August. In response, Tbilisi broke off diplomatic relations with Moscow and announced two unrecognized republics as the occupied territories.
