Meanings of ossetian separatists in English

South Ossetian separatists appear to have started the latest flare-up of violence, Fried said.

June 2007 - South Ossetian separatists say Georgia attacked Tskhinvali with mortar and sniper fire.

As a result, Russian troops were already in place, and primed for action, when Georgia attacked South Ossetian separatists.

Russia is the main backer of South Ossetian separatists, who are now fighting Georgian troops in the breakaway region.

Russia is the main backer of South Ossetian separatists and the majority of the non-Georgian population of South Ossetia carry Russian passports.

A police statement said the vehicle was shot at near the village of Khviti, "from territory controlled by Ossetian separatists."

The Ossetian separatists said Georgian forces fired mortars and rocket propelled grenades at the capital, Tskhinvali, late on Thursday killing two people.
