/PanARMENIAN.Net/ President of South Ossetia, Eduard Kokoity, announced
the closure of the administrative border with Georgia from Tuesday
midnight, forbidding any vehicles or passengers to cross over.

He explained the move by the necessity "to prevent further provocations
from the Georgian side" and "to avoid the threat of the A/H1N1 flu",
as 12 Georgians are reported to have been infected.

Tensions in the border area between Georgia and South Ossetia were
heightened days before the first anniversary of Georgia’s brief war
with Russia. While Georgia accused South Ossetia of shelling Georgian
villages, South Ossetian authorities said the suburbs of its capital
were attacked by Georgian mortars.

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
