Appeal of Ossetian peopleto the Governments and peoples of the world:

(8th of aug 2008 -when it all started)

Our people have been systematically exterminated for the past 19 years by the fascist Georgian regime, and their inhuman atrocities have been neglected by the world for the sake of geopolitical interest of the United States.

The conflict is being resolved in compliance with international law. However, skillfully applying falsification of historical facts and political insinuations, under a patronage from the US government, Georgia misrepresents reality to the world.

As of today, the major part of South Ossetia has been eradicated by Georgian aggressors. Our elderly, women and children continue to die. The total death toll is unknown as the Georgian side was opening heavy fire at those trying to help the wounded. Including children.

The unmatched Georgian brutality has been vividly displayed in 1991-1992, when they have been firing point-blank at South Ossetian civilians – the Zar tragedy can never be forgotten, a bus full of people shot dead - elderly, women and children. They shot a three-year-old boy trying to hide under his mother’s body.

What can we talk about with Georgia? How can we forgive burying people alive, burning people, and torturing people with refined methods? After all this, the world is silent and the Georgians continue killing innocent people. Saakashvili doesn’t feel sorry for anybody, even his compatriot Georgians. The notions of "people" and "meat" are not too different for him, and probably he prefers the latter.

For South Ossetia there is only one way to survival - a recognition of its independence by the world community. We appeal to all the good people in the world not to be indifferent to the fate of the Ossetian people.

Answer 3

Answer 7

The Ossettians do not want to be part of Georgia.That is clear.The Georgians want to keep control of S.Ossettia and there has been trouble between Georgia and separatists for quite some time.Recently Georgia attacked Ossettia massacring 2000 innocent people including some Russian peacekeeping troops in the area.Russia responded swiftly and severely and repelled the Georgian aggressors.The Georgians were clearly under the impression that the west and certainly the U.S. would back them up but they were sorely mistaken.I believe if Russia had not stepped in then they would have wiped out the S.Ossettians.They have been heavily armed by the west.

Answer 8

Russia invaded and attacked Georgia. 170 Americans were evacuated from there Now Russian leaders want Russia to stop attacking them.

Answer 9

South Ossetia and Abkhazia are territories within Georgia that each individually declared independence from Georgia and have each been acting in de facto independent capacities since the early 1990s. Neither state has been diplomatically recognised by any member of the United Nations.

on 1 August 2008, intense fighting began between Georgian troops and paramilitary soldiers of South Ossetia.  during this fight huge number of civilians and peace keepers died.russia warned that Russia will intervene if conflict erupts.

russian troops are now fighting against georgia.

hope this helped you

Answer 10

Georgia's gov't has been infiltrated. Kinda like the US gov't. The western world basically is being used to benifit a certain tribe. Now our Russian friends are aware of this.  Georgia is now trying to seperate itself from Russian influence.  BIG f****n MISTAKE! Now u obviously don't know this because the American media is too busy talkin about **** dat doesn't matter, LIKE OUR ELECTIONS. Russians are the good ppl. Go for Russia. They're leaders, unlike ours, make decisions that benifit they're own country.
