Water supply resumed in Georgian-South Ossetian conflict zone

Water supply in the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict zone was resumed Thursday, a spokesman for the Georgian state minister for conflict resolution said.

South Ossetia, a breakaway Georgian republic, asked Tbilisi to help repair the damaged water pipes going to the republic via Georgian villages. Tbilisi, which seeks to reinstate control over the republic, said South Ossetia must address its "alternative president," Dmitry Sankoyev, appointed by Georgia. "Upon Georgia's insistent request, ... water supplies to Georgian and Ossetian populations have been resumed in the area," the spokesman said. [More]
