Did Georgia attack first?

Question

What was the reason killing more 2000 civil people.

Answer 1

Sooooo your saying they killed 2000 civil people, now the Russians kill 2000 or more Georgia's now does that make you feel any better.  For one thing it's Russia's words against Georgia's words and no one knows the real truth.  It's time for the killing to stop.

Answer 2

They want to get South Ossetia. They've always wanted it.

In fact Stalin , a Georgian , used to send Suth Ossetians away, while not touching the Georgians. He probably wanted to clear the space , so that Georgians could capture it afterwards.

Don't listen to Albert Fish. Russia did NOT provoke anyone.

The Georgians attacked South Ossetia and violated the 1992 pact. Russia decided to go and help defend South Ossetia.

Answer 3

That number is completely unconfirmed.  It's most likely Russian propaganda.

Georgia didn't attack first.  Russia provoked them by firing missiles into Georgia, violating their airspace with war planes and the South Ossetians blew up a Georgian Armored Personell Carrier on the sixth of August.  Georgia was provoked for over a year.
