even though for obvious reasons my colleagues and i will never shake mr saakashvili and again. i consider him a war criminal. nonetheless we believed as we still do that it is the people's responsibility to deal with their own leaders. didn't we believe it's wrong to change a country's political structure and put people of your own choice in power in violation of the un charter we wouldn't quibble with you we believe that in the twenty first century people should act differently and the government should act according to different principles and principles of international law. in your reply you said we are number of times i know it's not the first time you've been asked this but this question is hard to avoid. as i understand it during that time you stayed in contact with the are pretty close as colleagues led him a putin did you have any disagreements with him well no our understanding has always been very similar but i can tell you that the burden of responsibility for such tough military decisions always lies with the one who's given your thirty to make them under the const

firstly mr saakashvili was probably under the illusion that after the change of leadership in russia he might quietly pursue his agenda previously been beyond his reach and the reach of his predecessors. but. secondly and i've said it before. i think that the support that saakashvili got from the united states and some other countries played a certain role. but it wasn't just plain encouragement there was financial support as well. let me remind you that by two thousand and eight georgia's defense budget had grown to almost a billion dollars fifty times what it had been in two thousand and two. clearly georgia was boosting its military might. and something like this always affects policy. seems that there was an understanding that since georgia applied for nato membership. the bid was not rejected outright but that it was. some kind of a waiting list and that it was invulnerable. almost felt like the nato collective defense principle applied to them as well. but i think that all of these factors eventually led second philly and some of his advisors to believe that they could achieve

spite of the fact that for very obvious reasons my colleagues and i will never shake mr saakashvili the way. i consider him a war criminal. my will of violence was already gaining momentum tensions between georgians and south the stadiums had been simmering for decades and the experience of being slaughtered in their own homes had traumatized each and every one. their blood is poisoned i tell you it is today they're peaceful but tomorrow both slaughter us all. georgian villages in south a city apted almost overnight with people living behind all their belongings litter is made their way in setting houses on fire to fear of retaliation was so strong that some love behind their own elderly were discovered days later hungry and disoriented by rescue workers. oh i hear it's hard have you got food. have you gotten bread. we give you a little. the august air here is usually filled with this sweet smell of ripening peaches. knew beforehand that this smell of decomposing human flesh is also suffocating with sweet according to georgian authorities one hundred seventy. lives in that offensive for

you have stressed many times that you consider this war to be the personal mistake of mr saakashvili that to russia doesn't blame it on the people of georgia. why don't you have the same attitude toward the recognition of the independence obviously your decision influences the people of georgia as a whole and it will probably diesel in many years to come. as otherwise we wouldn't be able to ensure the interests of our citizens or the national interests of the russian federation. just imagine that we would have to go in different directions after what happened. and his companions would start recovering their military power by the way they started receiving help of this kind right away much of the budget of the. for many years. held on to the hope that the georgian government would be able to preserve this territory within its own borders unfortunately though and this is the crime that really committed he committed against the future of his people and against future generations of his people. he actually drove the final nail into what had been his very own country with his own hands he

over mr saakashvili is almost off the political scene now and if the new georgian leadership is able to rebuild relations with the peoples of south a city in a positive boss would that really if occasion of his georgia ever be possible and if saw would russia recognize the territorial integrity of georgia. but the media in this world everything depends on the decisions people make me and the political will with the world everything depends on the will of the people that occupy these territories and on the will of georgians and their elected leaders. in the middle east. it's up to the will of the peoples of. on the move within that we want them to live in peace the one usually it's their form to choose what form it takes. we will not influence these processes when you win but we will of course defend the national interests of russia. while has healed its words even though the taste of independence is still bitter sweet month long between georgia and russia south the city still struggling to find its feet as an independent nation unemployment is high and opportunities for growth a scar

all over the world you don't wish them to you and i don't think that such a simple plot with mr saakashvili but in which as we now know ended with such few millions in failure with that would have been that's all in line with the interests of the united states government not playing all of your cards on the table is one thing. but me putting on such an act is an entirely different matter. in my opinion he overreached with the group before but more likely but i sure this was a bad bets that turned out to be criminal for the georgian leader. will go with him good morning. we have already discussed your work but i'd like to ask a few questions about ours journalists often view themselves as independent voices in any conflict. well. i'm quite skeptical about this as i personally saw journalists taking sides with the. not boy be annoyed. that i knew what in your opinion what was the role of the mass media and that war. was it driven by duty or was it used as a weapon in this geopolitical game. unfortunately i can't help but agree with you. around ninety percent of reports in respected internatio
