Dmitry Medoev, de-facto Foreign Minister of the occupied Tskinvali region claims that humanitarian crisis should be sought in brains of Tbilisi politicians rather than on the territories of neighbor states.

Medoev commented on the address of the Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili to the international community and advised her to apply to the international organizations with ‘problems of her own country.’

“It is better that the World Health Organization and other international organizations pay attention to the children starving in Georgia,” Medoev said.

As for withdrawal of medicines with Georgian annotation from pharmacies of the occupied region, Medoev described the fact as ‘nonsense’ and underlined that these medicines were not produced in Georgia and their origin was not known. Therefore, their selling was not acceptable across the occupied South Ossetia region.

The President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili has informed Director-General of World Health Organisation, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Commissioner of CoE for Human Rights in the occupied territories of Georgia on prohibition of Georgia-produced Medicines in occupied Tskhinvali.
