I privately was not surprised with the declaration of Kokoity's resignation. Seems like he will go, and looks like he got guaranties form Moscow that will be secure with his money, "- Mamuka Areshidze said to the news agency GHN.
"I would say Kokoity long before wished to go to Moscow but could not do it without strong guaranties. He showed to Moscow that he is an influential politician and Moscow can appoint him again when it will be needed. He dragged the time after the elections and heightened the situation. Quite possible that Kokoity will return to the politics as a regional leader.
Quite possible Kokoity will return to South Ossetia politics as a Chair of Parliament or regional leader. He will remain there in Russia peacefully till Russia will not exploit him again. In the situation in South Ossetia he appears to be in the most winning position, he at the same time annihilated private enemies (Tedeev). Areshidze believes that After Kokoity in South Ossetia very unclear situation will be. In fact at the power in South Ossetia will be Russian from Chelyabinsk - Vadim Brovtsev. Even Alla Jioeva still is an outsider thanks to the Kokoity's play.
