Talk:East Prigorodny conflict

1992 Beslan school hostage crisis?

In the first hours of hostage taking, when 1200 children and parents were captured by terrorists in school #1, the local media announced that the school had been taken by members of the 'Ingush dzamaat'1. Later the choice of the school (during the Ingush-Ossetian conflict of 1992 the sports gym of Beslan school #1 accommodated Ingush civilian hostages taken by the Osetian fighters), and the fact that there were eight Ingush among terrorists in the group, allowed local authorities and journalists, and echoing them Moscow-based experts to link the tragedy of Beslan to the Ingush-Ossetian conflict of 1992. http://www.policy.hu/sokirianskaia/brief.html

Mr. Khadziyev says he condemns the Beslan attack, with its terrible death toll of children. But then he adds: "Do you know why the fighters drove past two Ossetian schools before taking School No. 1 in Beslan? It's because the Ossetians used that very school as a prison for our people in 1992. Yes, our women and children were held there, in that same gym, beaten up and denied food and water. Nobody talks about that, do they?" http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0913/p06s01-woeu.html

Depending on position and ethnically motivated interpretation, the ambiguity of this is illustrated very well by the tragic word "Beslan." In 1992, the Ossetians set up a filtration center at School No. 1 in Beslan, where they tortured and killed Ingush. It was for this reason that the school was chosen by the terrorists for their hostage taking that resulted in the deaths of several hundred Ossetian children. http://www.rusrev.org/eng/content/review/default.asp?shmode=8&ida=1463&ids=136 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.234.60.154 (talk) 15:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Is it true? Or is it a rumour/myth among the Ingushes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.234.60.154 (talk) 15:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

It is true and it is well documented with Ingush witnesses who survived the 1992 Beslan school execution.

Request for history merger

Ossetian-Ingush conflict → East Prigorodny conflict — The article was newly created in lieu of Ossetian-Ingush conflict instead of being moved. Sorry, I didn't know. Please merge the histories. --Yalens (talk) 01:14, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Article title

The article was recently remanes into "East Prigorodny War" without explanations. Please provide the reasons and evidence that this engagement is called "War" more often than "Conflict". Staszek Lem (talk) 03:46, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

POV

This article only gives the Ingush version. Apparently, when the Ingush & Ossetians (Alans) were fighting, only Alans were taking hostages and raping, the Ingush didn't do anything of the kind. That is rather unbelievable.

I agree that the article is biased. While the infobox states that 9000 Ossetians were forced to become refugees, not a single sentence in the rest of the article bothers to explain why.

Wrong map?

The map in the article does not show Prigorodny District but rather Vladikavkaz and the surrounding district**s**. The page for the district itself has an accurate map but I don't know how to link to it.--AimingWinehouse (talk) 11:46, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
