For years Ossetian band formations in league with Russian peace keepers were regularly bombing Georgian peace keepers’ posts and Georgian villages situated near Tskhinvali; nevertheless of Georgian government officials’ warnings these actions didn’t stop. On August 7 the Osetians bands from Tskhinvali bombed four Georgian villages; there were many victims among peaceful population. After four hours Georgian army opened fire to bandits and entered in the south Ossetian capital. The Russian army and military planes immediately began bombing Tskhivali and nearby Georgian villages. A week before most Ossetians residents left Tskhinvali as they were warned by Russians about the planned conflict, therefore there were very few Ossetian victims in the city.  This was a trap masterfully set for Georgians elaborated in Kremlin. After the truce agreement Georgian army ceased fire and retreated back from Tskhinvali, Russians broke the agreement and bombed the Georgian cities and villages far from the South Ossetia, they sank Georgian ships, robbed, raped and killed civilians. Currently the Russian troops are accompanied by the Osetian bandits, their main occupation is ethnic cleansing, exterminating the Georgian population, robbing, raping and setting fire to the houses of Georgian inhabitants, there were facts of killing journalists, taking their cars and cameras.

HISTORY. The Ossetia autonomic district was artificially created by Bolsheviks after the invasion of Russian troops in Georgia in 1921, in order to punish Georgia for their resistance to Russian invaders. This part of Georgia was mainly populated with Georgians and was called Samachablo. Before 1921 there were only two ossetian families in Tskhinvali and very few in the villages, they began to settle in Samachablo after the conquest of Georgia by Russians.   .

A couple of years ago Russian president Putin gave the Russian citizenship to many Ossetians in order to annex this part of Georgia.

  Situation in Georgia is being aggravated, nevertheless of signing the truce agreement and the agreement of leaving Russian troops the Georgian territory, there is no sign of their departure; on the contrary Russians are keeping on invading Georgian cities and villages, exploding railway bridges, sea ports, ships, schools and living houses, putting mines everywhere, using weapons forbidden by the international law, raping, killing and kidnapping civilians, looting, setting fire to buildings and national parks. There is no doubt that they are carrying out in Georgia genocide and ecocide as well. 

Five days ago Russian military helicopters threw six fire bombs in the Borjomi-Kharagauli national park, more than 800ha forests are still in fire, government officials asked for help Turkey and Ukraine, during four days Russians didn’t permit their fire planes to cross the Georgian border only yesterday the Turkish planes began to extinguish fire, after that the Russian air crafts once again set fire to the forests in other locations of the park. Yesterday the Russian troops entered in the village Karalety (near Tbilisi) exploded several houses and killed ten residents of the village, after that the Ossetian bandits kidnapped 35 locals.

Today 15 Georgian prisoners of war were exchanged with five Russian ones. During the captivity the Georgian prisoners were brutally beaten and tortured by Russian solders and Ossetian bandits. There are facts that Russians killed wounded Georgian solders. The Ossetian bandits in league with Russian solders exterminated hundreds of civilians in the Georgian villages in the surrounding of Tskhinvali.

Russian mass media spread the information that 3000 Ossetians were killed by Georgian solders in the South Ossetian capital; a couple of days ago the Human Rights Watch organization observers visited Tskhinvali and confirmed that there were only 45 victims of bombing including Russian solders.
