Kokoity Fændarast (Ossetian: Kокойты Фæндaрacт) was a political campaign launched by The Salvation Union of South Ossetia, with a declared goal "of getting rid of Eduard Kokoity," the former secessionist South Ossetian leader.
"Kokoity is a murderer of South Ossetia's future", claimed Vladimir Sanakoev, "and we will not stop our peaceful actions until we reach our goal".
The music video aired on "Alania" television, the Tbilisi-based station targeting audiences in breakaway South Ossetia.
[3] Eduard Kokoity has denounced the ethnic Ossetians involved in the movement as "traitors" and accused the Georgian authorities of staging the campaign in an effort to undermine his government.
Georgian-backed Ossetian political forces opposed to South Ossetian independence from Georgia have launched this campaign with the goal of getting rid of Kokoity, yet at the same time they also welcome the involvement of Kokoity's envoys in the negotiations to determine South Ossetia's final status and this was criticized as it put to question how welcome the involvement would be.
