preparing for military action means by doing so they breach 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 told roscoe go on television and declared war on the south ossetia and actually that 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 the city or russia really attacks will the consequences would have been different today of course we do realize a tiny place like south a set with its seventy thousand people that could not attack to well on the georgia practically all 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 break ship international or however they failed to consider the bravery and persistence of the defenders 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 not model a south ossetia provoking and aggravating the situation we only called to arms on the eighth we were 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 simple i believe the country that had organized such actions had to be judged for them alongside with georgia the u.s. is. the e.u.

and the r.c.a. the observer those who left south to settle before the attack are responsible for it. see it as an international organization at the opportunity to influence georgia but unfortunately they didn't use it for some reason they've been tested. 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 not too. many things have changed in this regard after south said he was recognized by russian nickie regular whale 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 were involved in providing security and responding to georgia's aggression whereas today after people live a peaceful life 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 was to see it statehood has a very strong foundation and genuine people's rules and this is the kid cheeseman to evolve very young republic in maintaining security is still a priority according to our 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 in creation as you know some of us. are you worried about him you know more would start. their 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 caucuses so it's going to follow its own course that 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 seat of.

mentioned in the caucuses just like colombia was the seat of tension in latin america notes that the u.s. 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 some of the says he'll become part of russia sometimes it. just which will come. with a counter taken of what the situation was before when referendums were held in south or said that people were striving for a more 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 musicals russia has once again shown to the world i mean it's a group that it doesn't need foreign territory to say though i can argue that this city is not the way in territory the russian of that we need the united to set and

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 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 georgia territories committal equal interstate relations with us and russia has chosen this way of communication of would sound etc and 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. just during our visit in iraq you were in venezuela we were received as the president of independent sovereign states therefore we should proceed from the present day reality. well 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 of by nicorette your own venezuela shows that is the world has become multisensory universally said that of george mr president the georgia says it wants political reconciliation in the south a city out of causing or do you think that it's possible and the can. really 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 in such a to me we're ready to build a normal interstate relations with us 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 and 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 if 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 counting to action isn't it what he said but we're used to it a because. dealing with inadequate politicians in georgia but with
