Kochiyeva: residents of South Ossetia are dissatisfied with the quality of housing under construction
Virtually all people who left South Ossetia during the last August events have returned, however, many of those who lost their houses at the time are living under very hard conditions now, while the construction of new housing is done very slowly and many people are dissatisfied with its quality, tells Inga Kochiyeva, resident of Tskhinval and correspondent of South Ossetia newspaper "Respublica", to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to her, there are no collective dwelling centers in the republic any more. "People mainly stay with relatives, someone has borrowed flats, others rent dwelling, still others have squeezed into existing houses. They have been "disseminated" across the territory. No one in the republic has been left in the street. Everyone has been accommodated somewhere, even if it is a barrack or a hut, but this can not be called a human living", says the journalist.
According to her, what has been built to replace the lost dwelling does not satisfy people because "it is not adequate to what they have lost". "It is customary here to have a big house with a cellar where people can store many things, while those houses are too little, of summer cottage type, very small houses. It is true that those who had poor housing are content. But most people are disappointed somehow", says Inga Kochiyeva.
