80% residents of South Ossetia are Russian citizens and Russian
citizenship was issued to them on the basis of Russia’s legislation,
said Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasili Istratov, speaking on
the international legal basis of issuance of the Russian citizenship
to South Ossetian residents.

He said the legislation of Russia have allowed to issue Russian
citizenship to persons, who reside in the territories of former Soviet
Republics, for many years.

Istratov noted that a greater part of Azerbaijani residents also
received this citizenship on the basis of this law.

He noted at the same time that there are also Russian citizens in
Nagorno Karabakh but it is impossible to speak of their exact number.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
