Abstract
The present common view about GRB origin is related to cosmology. There are two evidences in favour of this interpretation. The first is connected with statistics, the second is based on measurements of the redshifts in the GRB optical afterglows. Red shifts in optical afterglows had been observed only in long GRB. Statistical errors, and possibility of galactic origin of short GRB is discussed; their connection with Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGR) is analyzed.
