	South Ossetia
		The Ossetes are descendants of the ancient Alan tribes of Iranian stock.
		The response from the South Ossetes was either to try to secure federal status within Georgia or, failing that, to seek to be reunited with North Ossetia, forming part of Russia.
		The Abkhaz and the Ossetes reacted negatively to the first actions by the Georgian independence movement because, as they said, the flag of the Georgian Republic of 1918-21, banned during the Soviet years but raised again by the new opposition movement, "reminded them of their ancestors killed under that flag".

		The decrease might be explained partly by heavy losses in World War II and partly by the resettlement of South Ossetes (on orders from the Kremlin) on former Ingush lands after the Ingush deportation in 1944.
		According to Kulumbegov, Ossetes in the AO were barred from entering higher education establishments and restricted in filling administrative posts, a fact the Georgians deny.
		Ossetes began to be expelled from their villages which, they said, were pillaged and burned with people still in them.

		In the talons and on the wings of the eagle one can see: the Wasamonga cup, a pole-axe, an oak branch, hop and ears of wheat.
		According to the ancient Ossetic myths (Nartian epos) all these things were given by God to the Narts, the legendary forefathers of the Ossetes since ancient times.
		The cup for every Ossete is the symbol of Justice and equality of all before the laws of morality.

		It is inhabited by the Ossetes, descendants of the Alani people who speak the Iranian language Ossetic, and who were conquered by the Russians in 1801–6.
		Conflicts between Ossetes and Georgians in South Ossetia from 1989 sent more than 100,000 Ossetes from South Ossetia to Alania 1989–92.
		The Ossetes demanded that South Ossetia be upgraded to an autonomous republic as a preliminary to reunification with Alania, and in September 1990 declared the region independent of the USSR (a claim rejected by President Gorbachev).

		Kurtat is an Ingush village in the disputed territory.
		A young Osset who really wanted to understand the Ingush better, listened to these experiences and said to Roswitha ''I guess when we feel helpless we start to hate.' He was trying to come to terms with the hate of his people for the Ingush.
		We had begun to do this with the Ingush and Ossetes but the insecurity and lawlessness springing from neighbouring Chechnya have placed all that part of the North Caucasus out of bounds to any outsiders who might record thesestories.

		Much of the Ingush territory was given to the Ossetes and not returned to them in 1957 when they were free to return to their homeland from exile in Soviet Central Asia.
		They were displaced by the violence that erupted at the end of October 1992 between Ossetes and Ingush over the disputed Prigorodny district near the present Ossetian capital of Vladikavkaz, only 20 km from Nazran.
		Many of the refugees of the camp were crowded into a building so dilapidated that it should have been condemned as not fit even for cattle to live in.

		The ethnic origins of the Abkhazians is the subject of debate embittered by the bloodshed of the last few months, but most Western students of the question accept that the Abkhazians' ancestors have been resident in what is now north-western Georgia since antiquity.
		The Ossetes, another people in conflict with the central Georgia authorities, are descended from the Alans, a barbarian tribe with a language with Iranian roots.
		The existence of North Ossetia inside the Russian Federation has encouraged the aspirations of the South Ossetes for unification with their fellow Osssetes on the northern side of the Caucasus.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tiraspol
		Saratov on the right bank of the Volga was settled upon as the see of the bishop, but the diocese received its name from the small town of Tiraspol, which in the fourteenth century had been the capital of the diocese of Kherson.
		Besides its vast extent, the new diocese was also singular on account of the varying nationalities of its inhabitants, who included Germans, French, and Italian colonists, besides Russians, Poles, Armenians, Kirghiz, Circassians, Ossetes, Daghestanians, and other peoples.
		The Government promised to build a cathedral, an episcopal residence, a building for the episcopal curia, and a seminary, and to provide an endowment of the cathedral chapter.

		In the Georgian part (called South Ossetia) is largely Orthodox Christians because of the Georgian influence, this region some say is drifting towards autonomy, or union with the North Ossetes that essentially means union with the Russian Federation.
		The North is filled with silver, iron, lead, zinc and boron deposits whilst the south consists mainly of arable farming land, hence it is in Georgian interest to acquire this land whereas it is in Russia’s interest to hold on to this part [1].
		Ingushetia during October 30th – November 6th was at war with the North Ossetes over the Prigorodny region [2].
