Social

The authorities of Georgian town of Tskhinvali helped Armenian citizens, who found themselves trapped on the North Ossetia-Georgia border.

The thing is that a huge number of vehicles accumulated on the road, as they were barred from crossing the border. The town residents give Armenians shelter, Regnum news agency says.

The agency also reports a group of masked gunmen attacked drivers and beat them. Khachatur, one of the drivers, say Georgian journalists asked them to give an interview and say something against Ossetians. The journalists promised that, in that case, Georgian authorities would let them continue their way. The drivers rejected the offer.
