My contribution to the meeting of the EU-Georgia PCC
2009 February 18, Wednesday
Dear Georgian friends, dear colleagues,
the armed conflict between Georgia and Russia of August 2008 is generally interpreted as a hard failure of the involved parties to settle the “frozen” conflict over Abkhazia and South-Ossetia by peaceful means. Now, the international public opinion is trying to appoint those responsible for the escalation of the conflict. Do we really have the chance to find the originators of the sad events in last August? I think, if anybody had any doubts during or shortly after the conflict, by now there have appeared a couple of facts, which reveal us the pure intentions of the involved parties, already not covered by the beneficiant curtain of the diplomatic language.
