so georgian peacekeepers left their locations and moved to their units which women preparing for military action by doing so they breached the international agreement and the issue with the international investigation on this crime has to be raised today too it's nonsense for peacekeepers to cross over and stand side by side with an aggressor especially when the georgians talk on television and declared war on the south to ceci and actually on the other hand they stayed behind the scenes for the international community as the e.u. and the us were interested in this in particular and therefore today they're ignoring it and south a city or russia really attacks will the consequences would have been different today so we do realize a tiny place like south of setia with its seventy thousand people that could not attacked a well on the georgia practically all nato member states had participated in providing arms and preparing the georgian military including ukraine and israel feels ukrainian arms were modernised by israeli experts georget was planning

a sneaky attack on south ossetia but at the time of the beginning of the olympics which was another breach of international law. they failed to consider the bravery and persistence of the just kind of south to setia the first two attacks awarded off the world as the supreme commander in chief of course the minute i wasn't giving the order to counter fire even though we knew the attack was being prepared we didn't even announce mobilization so that the international community would not malaysia south ossetia could provoke and aggravating the situation we only calls to arms on the eighth we would doing everything possible to avoid that scenario however the georgian side had been preparing for this attack with the help of the nato experts at the moment of the attack there were one hundred seventy u.s. military advisers who hadn't left georgia as they weren't prepared for such consequences in the later they had a problem trying to georgia so simply i believe the country that had organized such actions. had to be judged for them alongside with george or the u.s. and the e.u.

and the i.c.a. the observers who left south to settle before the attack are responsible for it. as an international organization at the opportunity to influence georgia but unfortunately they didn't use it for some reason and just see other terrorists mr president it's been two years since the day of george's attack on south of setia how do you says today's security situation. was not too. many things have changed in this regard after south said he was recognized by russian nickie regularly caught in his way and. are people live a different life now for eighteen years we were facing problems in maintaining and guaranteeing security and it was seamless old men and young people who are involved in providing security and responding to georgia's aggression whereas today they have a peaceful life of their psychology is different and we determined to create to build

and to demonstrate to the international community which is south of setia is not just a random state of nations that only has to see its statehood has a very strong foundation and genuine peoples rule and this is the kid cheeseman to evolve very young republic in maintaining security is still a priority according to into stating agreements as the fourth military brigade of the russian army and the russian border guards staying in our country this makes the locals feel more secure and stronger some to build and creation is you know some of us are you worried that a minimum war would start here. there are revenge seeking and provocative moves in georgia since sackets really is criminal regime no more has the support of its own people and most importantly the support of the us a them in any way the usa has its geopolitical interests in the caucasus so it's going to follow its own course there you said to me personally georgia is similar to colombia. i was on

a trip to latin america recently and i thought that georgia was the seats of tension in the caucuses just like colombia was the seat of tension in latin america notes that the u.s. and countries this is what worries us although i think that the recent warming in relations and the current reset the holocene pursued by president obama should remove that tension what i'm saying is it possible that sort of says he'll become part of russia sometimes it. just which will come. with a counter taken of what the situation was before the days when referendums were held in south. people were striving for and we are a small and divided nation most of which lives in russia a little bit given the fact the south a said his independence is quick to recognize and that it is now building international relations mission russia has once again shown to the world community that it doesn't need more territory i can argue that the city is not a worry in territory the russians that we need to be united to set it was

a united just said he hadn't voluntarily joined the russian empire but today the situation is different brushes demonstrating to the whole world is not that it's not going to an expanding territory and that it's on a ration to full security to do peace he was not saying to georgia territories committal equal interstate relations with us and russia has chosen this way of communication open with senator said he and. we are going to build these relations so we can create a kind of union with russia that can be various forms of. but today we're fighting for independence for them would be the states of the un have recognized us and the world community has started perceiving us as an independent state so even though there are countries that are. just ordering our visit in iraq u.s. and venezuela we were received as the president of independence to. in the states

therefore we should proceed from the present day realities it's up to us to determine the forms of our communication with russia and to decide whether it's going to be a union or anything else but don't let those who are too much concerned with this matter of to leave this to us we will make our own choice over another i would like to say that august the twenty sixth is not just a day when russia recognise south of santiago it may go down in history as a day when the world stopped being. the pressures recognition is a vitally important to us and we are infinitely grateful to russia for it this was a great and courageous international move were simply saved all people in the recognition of the republic of south a city a by nicorette you in venezuela shows that is the world has become multi century universally so that our george mr president has the store just says it wants political reconciliation of the south or city out and causing or do you think that it's possible and the can. when we're not going to talk to the criminal

regime or president saakashvili they are international criminals and it's the judges of the hague who should actually talk to them and as for the georgian people we should try to establish relations with them and with the leadership which they're going to elect a lot but only not with yet another party and such would have been what we're ready to build a normal interstate relations alyssa's i would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the geneva consultations the south is setting aside just proposing peace initiatives such as the signing of a memorandum calls on the normal resumption of military hostilities and on the nonuse of boards the georgian science refusing to sign this document as a millennium but this is a vivid example george is refusing to do that because the united states is advising it not to sign this document yet that's the problem calling for peace and refusing to sign a document that would commit to this peace creates a paradoxical situation when we're. we used to.
