Гүржээс салсан Өмнөд Осетийн шинэ удирдагчаар ОХУ-ын төрийн албанд ажиллаж байсан Марат Камболов сонгогдлоо.
Баасан гарагт болсон санал хураалтаар Марат Камболов 85 хувийн санал авч ялалт байгуулсан байна. Тэрээр Хойд Осетийн гаралтай бөгөөд өмнө нь ОХУ-ын Боловсролын яам зэрэг холбооны байгууллагуудад өндөр албан тушаал хашиж байжээ. Өнгөрсөн зургадугаар сард Өмнөд Осетийн ерөнхийлөгч асан Алан Гаглоев албан тушаалаасаа огцорч, ОХУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Путины зөвлөхөөр томилогдсоны дараа Камболов тус бүс нутгийн Ерөнхий сайдаар ажиллаж байв.
ОХУ-ын Гадаад хэргийн яам энэхүү үр дүнг Өмнөд Осетийн нийгэм ОХУ-тай харилцаагаа гүнзгийрүүлэх хүсэлтэй байгаагийн илрэл хэмээн мэдэгдлээ. ОХУ болон Өмнөд Осетийн хооронд тавдугаар сард батлан хамгаалах, аюулгүй байдал, гадаад бодлого, эрчим хүч болон тээврийн сүлжээг нэгтгэх тухай гэрээ байгуулсан билээ. Гүржийн тал уг гэрээг ОХУ-ын зүгээс тус бүс нутгийг де-факто өөртөө нэгтгэх оролдлого хэмээн буруушааж байна.
Ойролцоогоор 50 мянган хүн амтай Өмнөд Осеть нь хүнс, эрчим хүч, тоног төхөөрөмжийн хувьд ОХУ-аас бүрэн хамааралтай юм. Москва тус бүс нутагт цэргийн бааз ажиллуулдаг бөгөөд төрийн албан хаагчдын цалин, тэтгэвэр болон дэд бүтцийн томоохон төслүүдийг санхүүжүүлдэг байна. ОХУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Путин шинээр сонгогдсон ерөнхийлөгчид баяр хүргэж, цахилгаан илгээжээ.

A formerRussian official has been elected president of South Ossetia, theRussia-backed breakaway region of Georgia, in a vote Moscow hailed on Saturday as a sign of the territory’s desire for closer ties with Russia.
Marat Kambolov, the new president, is from North Ossetia, aRussian republic on the other side of the Caucasus Mountains from South Ossetia.
He has no previous ties to South Ossetia, which broke away from Georgia during the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s and later secured de facto independence withRussian backing. A brief war betweenRussiaand Georgia in 2008 drove Georgian forces from parts of the territory they had previously controlled.
“The results demonstrate South Ossetian society’s widespread desire for domestic political stability, progress and the comprehensive development of ties with theRussian Federation,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said.
South Ossetia andRussiasigned a treaty in May that deepened cooperation on defense, foreign and security policy and set out plans to integrate energy grids and transportation networks.
Georgia condemned the treaty as an attempt byRussiato cement its “de facto annexation” of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, anotherRussia-backed breakaway Georgian region.
Tbilisi also criticisedRussia‘s decision to open polling stations in both territories for itsState Duma elections running Sept. 18-20.
The 61-year-old Kambolov previously held senior posts inRussian federal government offices, including in the Education Ministry.
He was appointed South Ossetia’s prime minister in June after Alan Gagloyev stepped down as president to become an adviser toRussian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin congratulated Kambolov on Saturday in a telegram published on the Kremlin’s website.
In a victory speech in the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali, Kambolov pledged to improve living standards in the region.
“We have a great deal of work ahead of us. Only together can we change our republic, our Tskhinvali,” he said.
South Ossetia, with a population of about 50,000, is heavily dependent onRussiafor food, equipment and energy imports and has little industry of its own.
Moscow funds public-sector wages, pensions and major infrastructure projects and operates a military base in the territory.
Russian state media said Kambolov won 85% of the vote in Friday’s election, with his rivals polling in the single digits. Turnout was 73%.
