MOSCOW, September 10 (RIA Novosti) - South Ossetia is concerned over Georgia's intention to mobilize hardware for interior troop parade in the town of Gori located 28 kilometers from Tskhinvali, reports the information department of the unrecognized republic of South Ossetia.

"Despite official Tbilisi's statement that it would prevent any armed conflict in the Georgian-Ossetian frictions, the Georgian side keeps building up tensions and concentrating ever more forces on the South Ossetian border," said the committee's spokesman.

Georgia is known to plan staging an interior troops parade in Gori on September 12 and to bring there heavy technology and 3,000 servicemen.

"It is still fresh in people's memory how on July 7 a hardware column led by Georgia's commander of the interior troops crossed the border of South Ossetia to be stopped only due to the efforts of peacekeepers," said the spokesman.

South Ossetia's concern over the concentration of troops and military hardware at its borders was brought by Eduard Kokoity, the president of the unrecognized republic, to the notice of OSCE ambassadors when they visited Tskhinvali the other day.
