National Democratic Party of Georgia has commented on the reports about the evacuation of peaceful population in the occupied Tskhinvali(South Ossetia) Region of Georgia.

Leader of the party Bachuki Kardava accused Russian Federation of preparing a new military aggression against Georgia, adding the evacuation of people from the occupied region is the part of the process. Kardava said at the briefing today that the details of the aggression are planned in the office of Dimitri Rogozin. The opposition party leader also asserts the main support of Russia in this process in Georgia is the Georgian Dream coalition led by Bidzina Ivanishvili.

`We have information that coordinators and activists of the Georgia Dream tell people in the streets that they are going to arrange street protests in case the results of the elections are not recognized and they ask them what they are going to do if the government disperses these protests. Russia never collects their forces along the borders of Georgia in vain, it means that a number of Georgian political parties are already preparing to give a good reason to Russia and arrange provocations that will push Russia intervene in Georgia,` Bachuki Kardava said.
