Answer 1

20 000 should be killed? What a nonsense.

I think it is not a matter of figures but a matter of objectives. If women and children are deliberatelly killed it is a genocide, because this leads to death of future generations of this nation.

Answer 2

Why Georgia dont give them independence?

Saakashvili is new Stalin! Saakashvili is a dictator.

Answer 3

This is a real genocide!

Saakashvili is a murder!!!

Answer 4

Good thing the people of Ossitia have Russia

Answer 5

If it wasn't a Genocide, then one was only prevented because Russia acted so quickly. I'm sure that, given more time, Georgia would have managed to kill well more than 20,000 people.  

Answer 6

I'm from republic of Georgia, I would like to tell you people that situation is really bad over here, but we are calm.

I'm sure that nobody believes Russian lies any more, the world knows what is going on here, they know we didn't want this war to come, we have children, families here - this is not our choice!

Russians are bombing our cities far away from conflict zone, they can't explain why they are doing this, on TV they are saying that are doing this because of military strategic objects (military airports, military bases) but actually they are bombing civilians, homes, children, women are dying here, today a pregnant women died in city of Gori! my friend saved 4 year old girl from the basement of crushed building - this is the real face of so called Peace-keepers, this is the real face of Russia!

Russians are talking about Genocide of osetians - this is somewhat true, because they (russians) were the ones who bombed Cxinvali for 3 days - Cxinvali does not exist any more!

Georgians left Cxinvali because there was nothing more to defend, russians did not give a d**n that osetian civilians (women, children) were hiding in the basements of buildings at the time there were bombing the city. Georgians asked for corridor to take civilians from Cxinvali to safe place.

I'm not thinking of leaving country, this is my HOME, my home country, the only thing I'm going to do is send my children to my parents in US (they are citizens), my mom says she's going to come to Azerbaijan (because flying directly to Georgia is becoming dangerous) and take children to U.S.

I'm staying here because my husband, my friends are going to stay here to defend our country.

It's not about South Osetia any more... it never was, Russia wants to get hold of Georgia, but this pie is going to turn very bitter for Russians, we came to 21th century keeping our language, homeland and religion, fighting with number of conquerors and we will loose our lives before we loose our country, we'll defend Georgia to last breath!

The only way you people can help us right now, is to tell the world about what is going on in Georgia, everybody must know what Russia is doing here!

As long as God is on our side nobody can defeat us, we are defending our homes from people who killed children in Beslan, who killed their own citizens (hostages) in "Nord-Ost" incident.

Truth is on our side and we are more stronger and braver than ever!

Today as always I'm proud to be Georgian!

Answer 7

2,000 seems like a lot.

But it is not 'genocide'.

Answer 8

Russians spread wrong information

the ammount of ppl couldnt be killed, and those ones, i mean the population were killed by Russia as it was him who was bombing the territory non-stop, even from 3 to 6 pm, when Georgian government has moratorium and wasnt shooting adn made the corridor for civilians and even for the rebels whod give up,,,,

Answer 9

Let's count all killed Ossetians by Georgians during all the history of their neighbourhood - beleive, it's real genocide. They hate Ossetians, they mean they as slaves. They don't need Ossetinas but just their territory. Therefore they came in night and bombed sleeping civilians.

Answer 10

I don't know. Is over 4000 thousand american troops killed a genocide on the part of our president?

Answer 11

Everything, showed on west tv is fake, even most of UNO participants doesn't know what's going on.

Georgia's army attacked their own people in the South Osetia. Russia is trying to DEFENSE people. But they were too late, Georgia's army already killed more than 2000 citizens. But thanks to Russians, Georgia's army were forced to leave. Thanks to Russians there is no more death.

Answer 12

I would say yes.

Answer 13

Nope move the number up to around 20,000 or more then may be Genocide.
