so georgian peacekeepers left their locations and moved to their units which were 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 to date it's nonsense for peacekeepers to cross over and stand side by side with an aggressor especially when the georgians talk cross-post on television and declared war on the south to ceci and actually be 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 are ignoring it as south or city or russia really attacks will the consequences would have been different today so we do realize a tiny place like south a setia with its seventy thousand people who could not attacked a well on the georgia tragically old nato member states had participated in providing arms and preparing the georgian military including ukraine and israel those 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 great ship international or however they failed to consider the bravery and persistence of the defendants of south to setia the first two attacks awarded off the war 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 normally lazy south especially at risk of provoking and aggravating the situation we only call to arms on the aid of 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 seven u.s. military advisers who hadn't left georgia as they weren't prepared for such consequences in that later they had a problem trying to georgia so simple i believe the country that had organized such act. had to be judged for them alongside with georgia the u.s. and the e.u.

and the r.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 fortunately they didn't use it for some reason the money comes in the chest so the other thought is mr president it's been two years since the day of georgia's attack on south of setia how do you says today's security situation. was. as with many things have changed in this regard after south said he was recognized by russia nicky regular and you know who wrote up people live a different life now for eighteen years we were facing problems in maintaining and guaranteeing security of a 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 they psychology is different and we determine 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 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 state 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 cities and creation is like you know some of us. are you worried that in a more would start. you know there are revenge seeking and provocative moves in georgia since sec it's really it's 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 that you say to me personally georgia is similar to colombo. i was on

a trip to latin america recently and i thought that georgia was the seat of tension in the caucuses just like colombia was the seat of tension in latin america notes that there are 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 count taken of what the situation was before when referendums were held in south or said. people were striving for and we are a small and divided nation most of which lives in russia a little but 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 foreign territories i can argue from south that city is not

the way to territory the russian we need the united to settle belayed 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 what it is not going to an expanding territory and that it's on a ration to full security to do peace he was not saying to all the parts of georgia territories committal equal interstate relations with us and russia has chosen this way of communication 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 them. 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. just during our visit in iraq you were in venezuela we were received as the president. it is to sovereign 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 i would like to say that august the twenty sixth is not just a day when russia recognized south of santiago it may go down in history as a date 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 these the world has become multi century universally said that the george mr president has georgia says it wants political reconciliation in the south a city out on a passing or do you think that it's possible and the can. envision also cos really

when we're not going to talk to the criminal regime or president saakashvili of those little 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 also but only not with yet another party in such a being we're ready to build a normal interstate relations with us i would also like to draw your attention to the fact that at the geneva consultations the south is setting aside just proposing peace initiatives such as the signing of a memorandum goes on the normal resumption of military hostilities and on the nonuse of boards and the georgian science refusing to sign this document as a millionaire 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 to say calling for peace and refusing to sign a document that would commit to this peace creates a paradoxical situation. when he was around accountant to action isn't it will be

so but we used to we're dealing with inadequate politicians in georgia but all that some bullshit. one of the key elements of democracy which is so uncomfortable for me a forty. who pays for the news. how dependent does this independent media. and who is behind the t.v. story sitting at a. charge of media fiction and reality on augie.
