What Does Georgia Want From Russia?

Listen Now [4 min 24 sec] add to playlist

Day to Day, August 11, 2008 · Georgia claims Russia has been interfering with its affairs in South Ossetia. Alex Chadwick talks to Irakli Alasania, Georgia's permanent representative to the United Nations, about the conflict.

"The thing is ... we are dealing right now to be clear with two different things. One is the aggression and attack on the Georgian state, a full-scale invasion, which is going on against all of the principles of international law," Alasania says. "And the second ... is a humanitarian catastrophe that was ignited by this conflict. I mean, there are lots of civilian populations killed on both sides of this community: Ossetians and Georgians."

The head of Georgia's national security council said Monday that the key town of Gori — just 60 miles from the Georgian capital, Tbilisi — had fallen to Russian forces. Moscow denied the claim.

Security Council chief Alexander Lomaia said the town had been captured and that it was not immediately clear whether Russian forces would try to advance on Tbilisi.

An NPR reporter traveling on a road leading from Gori said dozens of vehicles, including many army vehicles, were streaming out of the town loaded with Georgian soldiers.

The apparent seizure of Gori came as Russian troops drove deep into Georgian territory in the country's western sector after Moscow's forces crossed into South Ossetia to support separatists there.

Earlier, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili told reporters that the world needed to "wake up" to Russia's aggression and do something to halt the advance.

Saakashvili told reporters that Russian tanks were invading Georgia from its pro-Moscow breakaway region of Abkhazia. He said Russia's goal is to topple his government and annex Georgia's territory.

"We are in the process of invasion, occupation and annihilation of an independent, democratic country," he said during a conference call with reporters. "Please wake up everybody. And please, make your position and speak with a united voice."

Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven nations discussed the situation in Georgia in a conference call on Monday and expressed support for mediation efforts led by French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Finnish Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb, a U.S. State Department spokesman said.

Meanwhile, Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday criticized the United States for airlifting some 2,000 Georgian troops from Iraq after they were recalled home. Putin said that the U.S. move will hamper efforts to resolve the conflict.

Georgia is the cradle of Khazaria, the origin home of the counterfeit Ashkenazi jews. By theft and murder, these talmudic hordes are causing mayhem and turmoil all over the world. They demand all the world riches, promised to them by the khazari-god.

And they subjugate the stupid goyem, especially those zio-christians who became their harlots.

LOL ……. Are we still waiting for that con rapture, and worse criminals to govern the world from Jerusalem?

Interesting spam.

Only one original thought per day, Max? ;-)

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
